A Fight in the Forest of the Argonne UST to the north of Chatel Chehery, in the Argonne Forest in France, is a hill which was known to the American soldiers as "Hill No. 223." Fronting its high wooded knoll, on the way to Germany, are three more hills. The one in the center is rugged. Those to the right and left are more sloping, and the one to the left—which the people of France have named "York's Hill" — turns a shoulder toward Hill No. 223. The valley which they form is only from two to three hundred yards wide.

The Germans were hastily "planting" other machine guns there. The Americans showered that hilltop with bullets, but the Germans were en- trenched. The sun had now melted the mist and the sky was cloudless. From the pits the Germans could see the Americans working their way through the timber. To find a place from which the Boche could be knocked away from those deathdealing machine guns and to stop the digging of "fox holes" for new nests, a non- commissioned officer and sixteen men went out from the American line. All of them were expert rifle shots who came from the support platoon of the assault troops on the left
