BRAVERY IN BATTLE TOLD
Twin Brother, Now Major in Service
In France, Also Wears Ilrillsh
Military Cross.
After pausing through experiences on
the western battle fronts of France
that would make Bill Hart and the
rest of the movie-thrillers take a back
seat. Lieutenant Earle Bogart Dunning-,
ton of Mrs. Carrie Louise Dunning of
31llvaukie. -Or., arrived In New York
slx-poandera -as we ambled along,
clamboring over trenches, crushing the
foe. under the tractors and brushing
aside the thick barbad wire entangle
menu," he w rites.
"Do not get excited If you see my
name on the casualty list, for I have
only been slightly wounded. As we
broke that old Hindenburg line I was
in the front wave that went over, but
the Huns were putting up the fight
of their lives and made a great deal of
trouble for us but not as much as we
made for them. I literally ran over
dozens of them at a time.
"The order was to go to a certain
place and I got there after four hours
of hard scrapping. I was the only one
to get through and then my tank was
knocked out by the artillery and blew

out. some of whom were wounded, and
then dropped Into a shell noie. w nen

all sides of me.

"I stayed there until night, then
raw led back through the main German

and myself returned, the rest being
captured. Then I crawled Into a dug

awakened by someone pulling at my

tenant Dunning was decorated with the
British military cross, the French crolx

guished service crofs. His mother re
ceived a message from him the day of
his arrival at the eastern port which
aid he would soon be on his way to
Portland, where he will spend some
time visiting with his many friends and
relatives here before continuing his
Journey to his home In Los Angeles.
Twls Brother Alaa fa Service.
Lieutenant Dunning has a twin
brother. Maior Carroll Dunning, who
Is still In the service in France with
the motor transport train. Both have
seen severe service overseas and Mrs.
Dunning has a Just right to be one of
111. proudrst mothers in Portland.
Major Dunning was present at the cere
monies of the ie.oratlon or his brother
with the British military cross and
wrote details to his mother of the Im
pressive formalities.
Both Lieutenant and Major Dunning
were former residents of this city and
are well known In social and business
-Ircles. The lieutenant emoarked for
France the last week in December.

August. 11. Both boys had a number
of years' military tralntng. having at
tended the Peekskill Military acaaemy
on the Hudson and later were students
for three years In lenna.
Task Cars Faaaaas Fighters.
The letters from Lieutenant Dunning
to bis mother, written during the time
lie was takinr part in the severe fight
ing, are historical and Intensely inter
eating. In a few words he describes
the work he does while occupying the
Interior of a tank going "over the top.
"What I do inside is to command the
tank and direct It also shoot a ma
chine gun when not ousy at something
else, but as 1 have a regular crew
do the observing and give the orders."
he writes.
In very mild terms he comments upon
his receiving the military cross. "I
have been offtclaly recommended three
times for bravery In action, besides
winning the British military cross, the
highest award the British can give for
distinctive bravery."
Members of the tank corps won !0
distinguished crosses, and special com
mendation from the king of England.
This famous fighting unit had the
honor of being the first to break
through the Hindenburg line and the
experiences tliey went through while
going under the hellish barrage equal
and exceed any that have been related
by returning heroes.

fond and they carried me back to the
first-aid post, for 1 was about all in.
"When I get my three medals on and
my service and wound stripes on both
sleeves I look like a Russian general
on parade." he adds. Jokingly. "I was
not affected by shell-shock, for It all
depends on one's constitution and if I
had stopped to worry and think about
things I would have been nutty by now
for it was the doctor's favorite pastime
after the battles to dig shell-splinters
out of me."
Relief Orgaalsatleas Praised.
He Is loud In praise of the work of
the Red Cross. Salvation Army. Y. M.
C. A. and other war-relief organiza
tions. "Their work is wonderful." he
says, "and without them the army could
not survive. They were always around,
even at the front and the first thing
a Red Cross man gave me when I
was brought to the first-aid station
wounded was a cup of chocolate, a
package of cigarettes and asked If I
would like to have any word sent
home."
Lieutenant Dunning was in three of
the major offensives of the war, and
took part in the hardest fighting, ac
cording to other officers who were ac
quainted with him. A very interesting
description Is given by lum of the de
feat of the famous Prussian Guards,
the pride of "Kaiser Bill." "In the last
fight the Germans brought up the
finest body of troops that the world
has ever seen all decked out in new
uniforms and equipment. They were
the famous Prussian Guards. Against
them was one of our new army di
visions who haJ been in the lines for
three days and were pretty tired. The
order came for our men to go over the
top. They stripped to the waist, fixed
bayonets and started.

"A roloncl who was an eyewitness
tokl of the whole thing. When the
smoke cleared, it was seen that the
Americans had not only defeated the
famous guards, but were chasing them
all over the lot. Pieces of those guards
were round for miles around not

that fell had his bayonet pointing to

Lieutenant Dunnings wife, who Is
at present in Los Angeles, will prob
ably meet him in Portland on his way
home. He was formerly engaged in
the lumber business at Hillsboro. while
his brother. Carroll, was a member of
the forestry service in this section.
The commander of the corps- with
which the lieutenant fought has stated
that he Is the best tank man in the
army and the many decorations received
by him substantiate that statement.
