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. Of the
. original 079 only i!M walked out when relief finally came
