Corporal August J. Cochenet of Mishicot, who is serving with Company B, Tenth Machine Gun Battalion writes an interesting letter from Kemfus, Germany where he is stationed, to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. August Cochenet.
Corporal Cochenet left here on April 27, a year ago and trained at Camp Custer until July 15 when he was sent to Camp Mills, N.Y. and on July 22 was transferred to Boston where he boarded a boat and sailed for overseas on July 23. The trip was made via Halifax where the troops were permitted to land but remained only a short time and on August 8 landed being sent from there to Winchester. From Winchester on August 11, Cochenet was sent to Southhampton and embarked for Havre, France from which point he was
transferred on a French railway line, the cars of which he says were a bit crowded with forty occupants being only about one half the size of the cars in the United States. On August 15 his contingent hiked to a chateau not far
from Montigny where it spent two weeks and then was sent to Les Aix D'Angillion where further training in machine gun schooling was received. On November 5 Corporal Cochenet was transferred from his own command to the 340 Machine Gun
company of the Eighty-fifth division and was sent to the front where he was transferred to Company B of the Tenth Machine Gun Battalion at Eubille, France.
It was ten o'clock on the morning of November 10 that the command of Corporal Cochenet moved to the front taking up a position in a swamp which had been left not long before by the Germans. Shortly after arrival Fritz gave the contingent
a salute from one of his planes which furnished a few exciting moments, says the letter. "Fortunately for me the boys with whom I was now serving had been through the mill and knew the game and I learned rapidly how to take care to
keep out of the way of Fritz." "We remained here until the eleventh, when the news of the armistice was received and on November 13 received orders to go back to Euville where we remained until November 21 and then were ordered into
Germany with the army of occupation.
Corporal Cochenet mentions many German principalities through which he passed and says that it was a most interesting experience and a beautiful country. "We traveled over roads that were the best and some that were the poorest, and not infrequently had to get out and pull
our trucks out because they could not get through. Since November 21 I have been stationed here but am hopeful that I will soon be ordered to Brest to go back home."
