n's horses had been hurled into a ditch by shells and he was
injured. In spite of his painful wounds he worked until he had
extricated his horses from the ditch, refusing to quit until he had
completed the work even though covered with blood from his hurts.

Private Joseph James of the 368th, received the Distinguished Service
Cross for extraordinary heroism in action, September 27th, in the
Argonne forest.

A regiment of the 92nd Division which gained distinction, received its
share of decorations and was mentioned several times in General Orders
from the high officers, was the 367th Infantry, "Moss's Buffaloes." This
title was attached to them while they were undergoing training at
Yaphank, N.Y., under Colonel James A. Moss of the Regular Army. It stuck
to the outfit all through the war and became a proud title, a synonym of
courage and fighting strength.

The 367th went to France in June 1918 and spent two months training back
of the lines. It was sent to supporting trenches August 20th and finally
to the front line at St. Die, near Lorraine border. It remained there
until September 21st and was then transferred to the St. Mihiel salient
where Pershing delivered his famous blow, the one that is said to have
broken the German heart. It was at any rate, a blow that demonstrated
the effectiveness of the American fighting forces. In a few days the
overseas commander of the Yankee troops conquered a salient which the
enemy had held for three years and which was one of the most menacing
positions of the entire line.

On October 9th, the regiment was sent to the left bank of the Moselle,
where it remained until the signing of the armistice.

Colonel Moss was taken from combatant duty early in October to become an
instructor at the training school at Gondrecourt, the regiment passing
under the command of Colonel W.J. Doane.

Composed of selectives mostly from the state of New York, the regiment
was trained with a view to developing good assault and shock troops,
which they were.

Casualties of all descriptions in the 367th, amounted to about ten per
cent of the regimental strength. A number of decorations for personal
bravery were bestowed, and the regiment as a whole was cited and praised
by General Pershing in his review of the 92nd Division at Le Mans.

The entire First Battalion of the 367th, was cited for bravery and
awarded the Croix de Guerre by the French. The citation was made by the
French Commission becau
