WWI Experience of Capt. Clark Owsley

Record Group 120: Records of the American Expeditionary Forces (World War I)Series: Records of Divisions

November 9, 1918 My Experience at the Front On the morning of October 6, 1918 , I started out from Somme Suippe with the Headquarters company , Captain Miiller in command We were going on a journey but where we did not know or [overwritten: from] how far About half way to our destination our order came back from Col. Bloor thru Lt. A.H. Carrigan to put an officer at the rear of his company to watch for straglers I being the only offices who was not attached to the company, or who did not have a platoon, was posted in the rear to watch for [illegible due to blurred ink stain]. The regiment progressed nicely without ^stray^ [illegible due to blurred ink stain] man falling out. As soon as we had arrivedat our destination, I reported to [crossed out : the] Capt. Miller, that the Regiment [crossed out: had ] did not have any stragglers . We arrived at our destination about three-thirty and about six o'clock, Capt. Nelson sent for me to report to him. I reported and he gave me orders to go to Somme-Py and meet a party of officers and men, who were to guide us into the line. This was my first knowledge of us going[ g overwritten] into the front. I got in^to^ [into] a motorcycle- side car & was driven to Somme-Py. When I arrived there, the Boche were shelling the cross-roads and my first knowdege of this was that the Frecnh and American soldiers were ducking their heads & falling into [typed above crossed out "on their"] ditches. I got out of the car & soon became doing the same as I hadseen the French & American soldiers do, duck. I was to meet the party near the old church at Somme Py. I went immediately to the old church and remained there until I met a Lieutenant that said he was looking for a "Guide" from 141st Inf. or some unknown Regiment. I told him that I was the guide for the 142nd Inf. and would give him to where the Colonel was. So he decided that it was the 142nd Inf. and proceed to go with me. I guided him to the place the Colonel was. It was now about 8:30 o' clock. At about 9:15 o'clock we started for the front. ("The" over written] We passed over roads which were being shelled continuously, but soon we arrived at our new P.[?G or C]. As soon as we had gotten settled there I [ "soon" crossed out] ask to see the Reg. Gas. Officer and he informed me that they had never had a gas attach and there was absolutely no danger of gas. [The following paragraph is underlined in red] On October 8, 1918, we had our first experience in going over the top. During our advance the Boche threw mustard gas, di-phosgene and Di Phogene chloropicrin [see comments ] gas upon our advancing men. Very few casualties resulted from the gas. this was due to the well discipline ["ci" is written above crossed out "er" ] of gas training. [crossed out] Lt. Murphy, 2nd Bat. Gas Officer was wounded, and the officers of the first and third could not keep in touch with the their battalion. [end crossed out] We had a great [? number], wounded and killed. As I would pass by a dead American, I would sometime think, but when by a dead Boche [full transcription at link]

“found out there’s age gap discourse in the All Quiet on the Western Front fandom” is really not a sentence I ever thought I’d be saying in this lifetime but

Christmas Eve 1914

[...] The Germans placed candles on their trenches and on Christmas trees, then continued the celebration by singing Christmas carols. The British responded by singing carols of their own.

Mother, Mother! how can it be that I must part from you? Who else is there that has any claim on me but you? Here I sit and there you are lying; we have so much to say, and we shall never say it.
