fire of the Boche. So accurate were the gunners handling the
German 77s that frequently a solitary soldier who exposed himself would
actually be "sniped" off by a cannoneer.

In the September fighting the 369th saw the toughest period of its
entire service. In company with a Moroccan Negro unit and others, the
regiment participated in the attack on the Butte de Mesnil. The New
Yorkers took the important town of Sechault and it was for that exploit
that their flag was decorated with the Croix de Guerre.

Throughout the western Argonne fighting and the various sectors of the
Champagne in which the 369th operated, especially during the months of
July, August and September, their service was typical of that of other
units of the 93rd Division. The going was tough for all of them and each
contributed everlasting fame to American arms and undying renown to the
Negro race.
