CAREY SERVED WITH TANK CORPS OF U.S. ARMY
Local Boy Home from Overseas Tells of Thrills of Service in Operating Tanks in Battle
Sergt. William Carey(sic) of the U.S. Tank Corps, attached to the 365th?
Brigade which when the armistice was signed, was preparing to get
into action near Metz in the big drive that the allied forces had
planned against that German stronghold, is home from overseas and
is visiting with his mother, Mrs. C.A. Carey, on North Fifth street.
Sergt. Carey, although glad to be home and happy that the war is
ended says that the boys on the Metz front were not particularly
rejoiced with the news of the armistice and the ending of hostilities
because they had expected a chance against the enemy and were under
orders to proceed against Metz. The real celebration took place about
two miles behind the front line says Sergt. Carey. Although Sergt.
Carey did not get into the line he experienced many of the thrills
of tank corps action in his training abroad and witnessed the horrors
of modern warfare which he declares are indescribable. Sergt. Carey
enlisted at Chicago in April last year and crossed in June ? training
at Camp Colt, Gettysburg, Pa. He landed at Brest and later reached the
Metz sector where he was about to be sent into action when orders to
cease hostilities were received. Sergt. Carey says that there were
1,800 men in a brigade of the tank corps with two light and one heavy
machine battalion. There are 15 light tanks to a company and two men
to a tank while for the heavy tank company there are five tanks and
twelve to sixteen men to a machine, officered by a captain, two
sergeants and four corporals. Sergt. Carey being attached to one of
the heavy tank companies. His command was at St. Mihiel and at Argonne.
That a drive was launched against the Germans only an hour before the
signing of the armistice with heavy loss to the allied forces, is a
statement made by Sergt. Carey, who apparently had little time for the
British who ? says, had most of their fighting done for them by Canadian
and Australian troops, the British regulars being held in reserve. He
referred to one drive in which the American troops were sent over first,
followed by the Canadians and Australians with the British making the
clean up of prisoners after the other forces had whipped the enemy.
Sergt. Carey is enthusiastic in his praise of the French officers and
soldiers, "real fighters with ? courage and determination" as Carey
described them. Sergt. Carey told of meeting Lieut. B. P. Herzog when
he entered a restaurant at Iss Urr Tiel where Herzog was seated eating
a lunch. "Believe me there was something stirring about that place just
then and Pete and I sure did enjoy our little time." He said that Lieut.
Herzog had been injured twice in the service overseas and was at that
time on his way to Paris and had been recommended for a distinguished
service (illegible.) One of the pleasant incidents enjoyed by Sergt.
Carey was a three weeks furlough during which he visited Nice, Monte
Carlo and other points of interest. At Monte Carlo he had the pleasure
of a personal meeting with Charles M. Schwab the ? magnate who he says
was very popular with the American soldier boys, many of whom were
gathered at Monte Carlo. Sergt. Carey met Reuben Nyhagen of this city,
at Chicago on his way home. Nyhagen was attached to the 306th brigade,
U.S. Tank Corps. Mr. Carey understands that he was in active service
and participated in at least two of the big drives. Nyhagen is expected
home within a few days.
