-------------------------

On October 26 Company Headquarters were again moved, this time to German dugouts in the Bois de Forges. By this time there were only two advance parties in the field, one under Lieut. Rosenfeld on the east bank of the Meuse, and one west of the river under Sergt. Taggart. The latter was preparing to follow the next drive northward. Thus far, the good luck of the Company had been remarkable, but on October 27 Sergt. Taggart reported that five men of his party had been wounded the day before, by a high-explosive shell, near Nantillois. These men were Sergts. Bustard and Green, Privates First Class J. B. Pelphrey and F. C. C. Johnson of Company D, and Wagoner Metzger of the 1st Engineer Train. Privates Pelphrey and Johnson died from their wounds, October 28. On that day, also, a German shell made a direct hit on the cooks' dugout at the headquarters camp in the Bois de Forges, and Cook Prezlina and Privates Garhartt and Panell were wounded. Cook Prezlina, though painfully hurt himself, insisted that Garhartt be taken care of first, and did everything in his power to aid him. All these men were sent to the hospital.
