Gay, commander of battery B, 147th field artiilery, -who returned with his men last Tuesday and tarried In Portland en route to Camp Lewis. Captain Gay, who received the croIx Je guerre, and the distinguished ser vice medal, for gallantry in action, was with the law offices of Hamilton Johnstone prior to enlistment, and the letters from France, written last Jan uary, describe some of the actions In which the battery participated. "Our first baptism of fire was around June 1, when we entered the Toul sec tor," wrote Captain Gay. "This was a pretty warm reception, men and horses wearing gas masks while get ting into position. In addition there was constant shrapnel fire, and we did not dare use lights, though it was pitch dark. 7 Days in ' Death Valley." "We next moved to Alsace, taking position near Trabach le Haut. They found my number here, and dropped about 300 nice 155s and 210s on to us, all 'H. E.' Very merry party for about five hours. "We had seven days In renowned death vallev,' a little later, and rightly named. Our first casualties were here. Lieutenant Furstel was the first to go, followed by several of the men, every day thinning our ranks. Evac uated about 30 killed and wounded in a week. This was the hard part of the game, and what aroused the de sire to kill." Time and again the battery. to be vouchsafed the chance to even the score, and of the deadly accuracy of their fire Captain Gay treats in another paragraph, describing a boche attack In massed formation. Hun Dead Piled High. "Believe me, we evened up," he wrote. "They started a nice little counter at tack with massed Infantry. We slip ped over about 200 nice new obus ex plosive with time fuse, special ad justment, in about 10 minutes, as fast as we could shove 'em in. I guess 'Gott mitt Uns' was the proper term, for we had them piled up like wood, only the piles were irregular and the pieces could hardly be called uniform In size or shape. Beautiful work, from an artillery standpoint. And that's the only way you can think and remain sane" Of the fighting In the Meuse-Ar-gonne sector, near Noutoillas, where the boche batteries got the range and held it. Captain Gay said that it was the worst "hell hole" of their ex perience. "We started, but they finished It," he continued. "They got onto us, about an hour after we started and in 15 minutes fighting the world was theirs. We stayed with the guns as long as we could. They killed three and knocked out 12 of the men. Does Own Flrat-Aid. "My hospital man gone, I had to do the first-aid myself, for there were too many shells to ask the men to go Into the position. f "In addition to this, one shell picked off eight horses, and, followed up by a 'long torn," made another direct hit with nine killed and eight wounded. We made history for a few minutes. We came out lucky, at that, for there were two direct hits right under the guns without losing a man, and there were three fell about 25 feet either side of me, as I was tying up a badly splintered leg. All I got out of It was a bunch of dirt." How the armistice came to the bat tery was epitomized by one of the weary gunners, who observed, briefly: "Well, Cap, I guess we can get a few winks of sleep now without those damned boches disturbing us."
