Description
"Together on the Fire-step."
"The result of the German attack on the morning of 27th May 1918 was a rude and startling surprise to the Allied Headquarters. In four days, on the evening of 30th May, the leading elements of the German troops were at Chateau-Thierry, and on the following day the Bosche stated in his communiqué, 'We stand along the Marne.' No greater measure of self-satisfaction was ever reflected in his pompous announcements than in this.... But on this fourth day at Chateau-Thierry the German troops found a small American fighting unit, the 7th Machine Gun Battalion of the 3rd U.S. Division, which had come a distance of 110 miles in thirty hours by motor transport, and the Bosche failed to cross the Marne. - Colonel R. H. Kelton, General Staff, USA."
