We met with stubborn resistance at first, but with the usual American determination and pluck, we soon forced the Boche back. It was here that I first saw the German minnewafers and trench mortars at work. The shells thrown from the minnewafers are as much feared as any German weapon of war. They are thrown from a large gun with a smooth bore and short barrel.
These minnewafers and mortars are of various ranges from three and four inches up to twelve and fourteen inches. Aside from these trench guns, the Germans in this fight also resisted heavily with machine gun nests and one pounders. In going over the top this time, we did not have the protection that we did when the St. Mihiel drive started.
