Victims - of Assassins - FACTS ABOUT THE LOST HATTALION The -approach of another Armistice Day and the inevitable memories that its celebration brings to the mind of the foimer soldier makes an article in the November American inytga'.ino "especially interesting and significant. It is tho full story of the famous "lost battalion" of tho 77th Division irnil is an Indirect tribute of the highest order to the seven hundred men who held' out against surrounding Gcrmnnh through five' of the most horrible days of the, war. ,TJpmas M. JohnsohSviir correspondent in the Argonna'nt (ho "lime, is author of this brief, ' accurate history of the Lost Battalion. For those who recall the news stories of the time and for those who have read some of the unfair and inaccur ate opinions of the episode, the American's story will be most enlightening. Surely it will serve- to impress every render with the five-day horror and heroism of these men of the 77th who drove through lo their objective and who held it regardless of costs. ' . .: One of the real tragedies of the war was the unfortunate criticism heaped on the hend of Major Charles W. Whittlesey, commanding, the ' lost detachment unfair criticism that probably resulted in his suicide three years later. Whittlesey is one of the great, heroes pf the war and.thu men with him rank equally high. Given an objective and ordered to gain it and hold it "regardless of losses," he played the role of the true soldier and did his duty. Contrary to some previous stories. of the event, Mr. Johnson points out that Whittlesey did not push beyond his objective, nor (tyd he consciously lead his men into a trap. , While units on his right and left failed lo break through ' and failed to hold the ground gained at first, Whittlesey suc ceeded. The price of his success,- of his obedience and coiir- ' age and tho same is true of his men was a siege of five terrible days-when thirst, hunger, .suffering and death stalked through every endless hour. Whittlesey and his men have written a great page in Aivc- erican history and each succeeding Armistice Day will see new tributes to their heroism as the truth of the Great War is brought homo to new generations of Americans.
