ARRIVING IN SAN FRANCISCO

FROM FRANCE

TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 1919

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

H. LaT. Cavenaugh, U. S. A., gallant commander of the 363d Infantry, is the man who organized the regiment, trained it, led it into battle and now brings it home. Thousands of letters, written home by the boys of Colonel Cavenaugh's command, attest to the fearlessness and above all to the lovableness of their leader. Henceforth the Colonel is a San Franciscan—he has been "adopted" by popular acclaim.

 

 

 

 

 

REGIMENTAL HISTORY

OF THE

Famous 363d Infantry

 

By CAPT. CHARLES M. ROSS, ADJUTANT

 

 

      ONE who looks down the ranks of the 363d Infantry Regiment sees the typical American accomplishment of what the world had believed to be impossible. In one brief year, the Regiment was organized of men new to the game of war, trained and placed in the front line of the Meuse-Argonne and -Lys offensives—battles which brought the Hun to his knees, battles in which the Regiment made a name that will live long in military history.

 

      THE 363d Infantry was formed at Camp Lewis, Washington, on September 5, 1917, as a part of the 91st Division, one of the 16 "National Army" Divisions created by General Order No. 101, August 3, 1917. The Regiment's commanding officer, Colonel Harry LaT. Cavenaugh, who brings the organization back to San Francisco, took command on September 5, 1917, brought its training up to that standard which caused it to be chosen as front line "storm troops," and led it through its two battles, where he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for gallantry.

 

      THE rest of the commissioned personnel of the Regiment, at the time of the organization, was made up of officers commissioned, on August 15, 1917, from the 5th and 6th Companies of the First Officers' Training Camp at the Presidio of San Francisco, California. A majority of these officers are still with the Regiment.

 

Majority of Men from San Francisco.

 

      THE original enlisted personnel of the Regiment was composed of men inducted into the service from Central and Northern California counties and a majority of these came from San Francisco, which caused the Regiment to be named: "San Francisco's Own," While there have been many changes, the Regiment as it returns is  made up mainly of San Francisco and Northern California men.

 

      THE spirit, energy and determination with which these men went through the long hours of training brought them, in the spring of 1918, into an organization found fit for battle a few weeks after its arrival in France.

 

      THE regimental spirit was engendered not a little with the assistance of those at home, whose contributions and words of encouragement helped in the long hours in camp. San Francisco presented to the Regiment the flag and standard which it carried through the battlefields of France and Flanders. San Francisco did much to make the Christmas of 1917 a merry one. San Francisco sent its Mayor, James Rolph, Jr., to Camp Lewis, where, on May 6, 1918, he gave the men the parting message of the folks at home.

 

Regiment Leads 91st Division to France.

 

      THE Regiment left Camp Lewis for France between the 20th and 26th of June, embarked from Hoboken and Philadelphia on the 6th and 7th of July and arrived at Glasgow, Scotland, and Tillbury Docks, England, between the 18th and 23d of July. The Regiment led the Division out of Camp Lewis and into France.

 

      FROM England and Scotland the battalions of the Regiment were sent across the English Channel to France and across France by train (the famous "Hommes 40, Chevaux 8" kind) to a training area a few miles northeast of Chaumont, France. Regimental headquarters was established in the town of Mandres and the battalions were billeted in small towns nearby.

 

      HERE the final touches of training for battle were given the Regiment and, through the hot days of August, the men pursued the imaginary Boche over the hills near Mandres and heard the first faint sounds of guns on the Western front.

 

Training Ends and Men Move Up to Front.

 

      ON September 3, 1918, the Regiment left the training area and started for the front. It went by train to Gondrecourt and then set out by long night marches for the battle front, arriving at St. Germain on September 11, 1918, where it went in, with the rest of the 91st Division, as "reserve" in the St. Mihiel offensive. Leaving St. Germain on September 13, 1918, the Regiment by more night marches, arrived in the Foret de Hesse, just north of Aubeuville, on September 20, 1918. Here the 91st Division went into position in the center of the line in preparation for the Meuse-Argonne battle. The second battalion took over from the French the line of resistance in trenches behind Mt. des Allieux. The rest of the Regiment was in bivouac in the Foret de Hesse. Here the Regiment was but a short distance from the German front line, where the French in 1914 had stopped the onrush of the Boche.

 

      THE Regiment lay quietly, under harassing shell fire of the Germans for six days, in dugout, camouflaged shelter tents and improvising shelters, suffering all the difficulties of food supply and water transportation.

 

Fog Hangs Over No Man's Land As Attack Opens.

 

      ON September 25, 1918, orders were received that the Division would attack the next morning at 5:30 o'clock. At 7 o'clock that night, the Regiment started to march into the front line trenches, the Second battalion in the front line, the First battalion in support and the Third in divisional reserve.

 

      AT midnight the American artillery bombardment preparation opened, and each whistling shell on its way to the Boche defenses was given a silent cheer by men of the Regiment as they waited in the trenches.

 

      AT 5:30 o'clock on the morning of September 26, 1918, the 363d Infantry, with the 181st Infantry Brigade on the right and the 138th Infantry on the left, went "over the top," down from the shell-torn slopes of Mt. des Allieux and Cigallerie butte into "No Man's Land," over which hung a heavy fog. The wire in front of the French trenches was thick, high and uncut. Ten minutes after going "over the top" the advancing companies found it impossible to keep contact in the fog. Even platoon leaders were unable to keep their commands together, for by this time the smoke barrage that had been laid down had added to the obscurity and one was able to see only a few yards ahead.

 

Regiment Gets Baptism of Fire.

 

      SCATTERED but enthusiastic hands of Infantrymen rushed forward thus across "No Man's Land," forded the creek that ran close to the Boche front line trenches, leaped over the Boche barbed wire and jumped his trenches, where a few of the most daring Boches had survived the American barrage and lay in wait for the Yanks. These were quickly disposed of and the Americans went on, into the Bois de Cheppy, like packs of hounds.

 

      AS the first waves of the Regiment cleared the north edge of the Bois de Cheppy (the advance all along the 38 mile front of the battle was north), the fog lifted and the first resistance was met—enemy machine gunners, snipers and artillery firing at point-blank range. Here officers and men of the Regiment began to fall and here, in the space of a few minutes, it was learned that threatening flanking movements against the Boche strong points and a continued and determined advance were bringing the Germans out in bands to surrender with raised hands and cries of "Kamerad."

 

Capture Guns While They Are Still Firing.

 

      PRISONERS began to pour back into the American lines. One company captured three field-pieces, two of which were still firing. The 363d had advanced into the Boche artillery positions and the Boches were in disorganized rout. The advance continued. The town of Very was captured and the scattered companies of the First and Second battalions were moving against strengthening resistance on the slopes north and east of Very when night fell and the order came to withdraw and hold the slopes north and east of town.

 

      ON September 27, 1918, the Third battalion was placed in the assault wave and the advance went on; but the Boche had strengthened his position during the night and only a short distance was gained the second day—this under terrific shell fire.

 

      THE men had found their first day of battle to be one of sport. They went after snipers concealed in bushes and trees as one would go on a quail hunt. But the second and succeeding days, with the Boche throwing in his best and all available strength against the attack, which threatened Sedan and the most important lines of communication on the Western front, the battle settled into yard by yard gains and hanging on under shell and machine-gun fire.

 

Relieved Only After Nine Days of Fighting.

 

      THE roads in the rear were shell torn and jammed with traffic. Food and supplies were thus slow in getting up to the lines. The men were hungry, water was scarce, the nights were rainy, there was no shelter. At times the Regiment, forced to throw in all of its units in order to fill gaps that appeared in the line, held a wide front with only thin lines. But the Boche were stopped in every counter attack. Not an inch of ground was lost to them.

 

      IN its first battle the Regiment had made good. It has not only done all that was expected, but had extended its flank and had thrown in troops where other units had been held back and had needed assistance.

 

      THE officers and men, after nine days of fighting, were exhausted when the Regiment, with the Division, was relieved on October 5, 1918, by the 1st Division. The march out of the line was made with great difficulty. Men fell exhausted at every halt. Many had been without a warm meal through most of the battle; many had been without food and water for days.

 

Regiment is Transferred to Belgian Front.

 

      THE Regiment was assembled at Dombasie on October 7, 1918, and replacements in officers and men were received to fill the ranks for those killed and wounded. By marches the Regiment passed to Revigny, where on October 17, 1918, it entrained for Belgium. The German Army, being driven north on Sedan by the Meuse-Argonne offensive, was sending all available troops to stop the Allied advance. Meanwhile, there was planned an offensive in Belgium.

Evans, Regiment Intelligence Officer; Lieutenant Ernest G. Raas, Regimental Gas Officer.

 

      ON the 19th of October, the 363d Regiment arrived in the vicinity of Ypres, where it detrained and marched towards the front, training its replacements and preparing for the Ypres-Lys offensive.

 

      THE British and French had pushed the Boche back across the Lys river where the Allied offensive had halted for a short time. The 91st Division, having gained a high reputation for its dash in offensive action, was chosen with the 37th Division for operations east of the Lys river. By this time the officers and men of the Regiment had learned that the final struggle was on and that the Boche, forced into the open in a running fight, was a Boche defeated.

 

Lining Up for the Ypres-Lye Offensive.

 

      HOW the men of the Regiment marched on, slept in holes, barns, and many times in the open under nightly aeroplane bombardment is a story in itself. How they made their meals at times from the turnip patches will live long in their memory.

 

      ON October 30, 1918, the Regiment moved up to the Lys river, east of Oostrosbeke. That night the Third battalion took over a portion of the line from the French at the town of Waereghem. An Allied offensive, which extended along the entire Belgian front, had been planned for the following morning. The 91st Division was to operate between a British division on the right and a French division on the left.

 

      WHEN the Regiment went into position, the line, in many places, was less than 50 yards from the Boche. Unlike the shell-torn fields of the Argonne, the Flanders battlefield of this offensive was over farms and villages occupied at that very time by Belgian civilians. The Boche took advantage of the cover afforded by hedges. He placed machine guns in the attics of farm houses. Snipers were concealed behind windows.

 

Six-thirty is Zero Hour for the Assault.

 

      AT 6:30 o'clock on the morning of October 31, 1918, the Regiment went "over the top" under a barrage which failed to clean out the Bocke, who were at close range. The assault waves were met by a storm of machine-gun fire. There was a canal and barbed wire to cross under this fire, but the men dashed to their task with determination. It was only thus that the Regiment was saved from being wiped out, for the losses in killed and wounded were withering in the first half hour. In one company, all the officers and the First Sergeant were killed and most of the other companies had to continue the fight with but one or two officers to command them.

 

      DRIVING on in the face of this fire and in a heavy gas and high-explosive shell bombardment that the Germans laid down on the advancing troops, the Regiment drove the Boche from his first position and the retreat began which carried him over the Scheldt river.

 

      AS the men pushed forward through farm fields, the Belgians, who for four years had been under the heel of the Boche, rushed out with food and wine, cheering the Americans on their way.

 

363d is Again Employed As Shock Troops.

 

      THE first objective was gained the first day. On the second and third days, November 1st and 2nd, the advance continued, but the German infantry had fled for the most part and left the work of attempting to check the Americans to the artillery. On November 2, 1918, the Regiment had reached the city of Audenarde, where the Boche had blown out the bridges across the Scheldt river and had withdrawn to the heights to the east.

 

      ON the night of the 2nd and 3rd of November, the Regiment, with the rest of the 91st Division, withdrew from the line and marched back to Oostrosbeke. The line was taken over by the French and held until the next offensive on November 10, 1918, when the 91st Division was again placed in for attack. By this time bridges had been thrown over the Scheldt river. Again the 363d Regiment went into the front line, crossing the Scheldt on the morning of the 10th. The enemy resistance was weakening; the end was near. A few machine-gunners and snipers were left, but the Boche was rapidly withdrawing on Brussels. The heights east of Audenarde were captured and the Regiment was advancing beyond as night came.

 

Armistice Finds Regiment On Verge of Attack.

 

      NEXT morning there was to be a continuation of the attack when word came to delay until 9:30 o'clock. Meanwhile Colonel Cavenaugh had assembled the battalion and company commanders for instructions concerning the attack. He had dismissed them and they were on their way back to their organization when the message came—the message heard around the world.

 

      THE end of the war, the signing of the armistice, the final moment of the struggle, found the Regiment in position ready to attack.

 

      IT has all the ring of the dramatic, the story of how the word that hostilities would cease came only a few moments before the Regiment was to go over the top on the morning of November 11, 1918. But one who might expect to have found the men cheering and dancing with one another would have been disappointed.

 

      STRAINED to the high pitch of the struggle, waiting to go forward again into the hell of battle, the men heard the word as in a dream and moved wearily into billets, there to fall into the first sound sleep they had had in two months.

 

      THE war had ended, but the long marches had not. The Division moved on toward Brussels, expecting to go into the Army of Occupation. At Sotteghem, the Division turned and marched out of Belgium to a point near the French border, where, after a month's rest, trains were taken to the embarking center near Le Mans, France, and from there to the home-going transports.

 

Regiment Has Imperishable Roll of Honor.

 

      THERE are stories of bravery that will never be told. There are stories of hardships that will never be recounted. Words cannot express the thoughts of those who fell and did not rise again.

 

      THE casualties in the two offensives in which the Regiment participated were as follows:

 

Killed, Officers 13, Enlisted Men 252

Wounded Severely, Officers 14, Enlisted Men 211

Wounded Slightly, Officers 36, Enlisted Men 625

Wounded, Degree Undetermined, Officers 0, Enlisted Men 91

Grand Total of Casualties, 1,242
