THE FIGHT IN THE FOREST:

On October 8 1918 the tired little town of Châtel-Chéhéry on the edge of the relentless Argonne woods was to be a piece of an activity that would cast it headlong into a site of military notable praise for the following 90 years. The assault by the 82nd Division by then was intended to grab a German railroad that was supplying German troops along the cutting edge.

Early point by point his men to shape an engagement line and they then gave pursue. Going to a little stream they exasperates an extensive gathering of German troopers, who,surprised to see American warriors so distant from the activity, were situated and eating on the bank on the opposite side of the stream.

After a couple introductory shots from the Americans, the Germans surrendered. The Americans were securing their detainees when they were discharged on from the slope behind by a German automatic weapon. Instantly Sgt. Early was hit different times in the lower body rendering him unfit to summon. Altogether, 6 of the watch were slaughtered and 3 injured which left Alvin York the senior N.C.O.
