gun nests with liquid fire shot from a
Stokes Tresch Mortar.
On Sept, 26, 1918, in the Bois Jure,
near Gercourt, France, the Zistn int.
had advanced to a depth of about i
dense forest in Argonne when they
suddenly encountered intense machine
gun fire. As they had experienced
no opposition until now mis nre re
sulted In heavy loses to their forces.
Falling back to the woods they re
organized their forces, and Dakln was
told to Are upon the machine gun
nests. Not having enough ammuni
tion to lay down a barrage, he insisted
that the nest be located. One of the
nests was located and his crew cleaned
It out with liquid fire. Starting out
again they enrountered the same re
aistanre. Falling bahk again they
trli.it to locate the ne3t hut were
anrrRRsful. The major in charge of
the battalion called for volunteers to
ornnt nut the cositions of the nest.
Corporal Dakin, being only attached
to this outfit until it had reacnea us
objective, did not at first volunteer.
When it was seen that no one would
volunteer from the outfit. Corporal
Dakln and his first gunman Private
Guy Nelson, (who likewise won he
D. S. C.) offered there services. As
Dakln was not wearing his chevrons,
the major would not accept their
service unless a N. C. O. was In charge
A sergeant was detailed from the out
fit to go with the vo'.un'eers. They
started armed with their .45 auto
matics. At the edge of the woods,
nrt ahnut 4 feet from them, the ser
geant -was killed by the intense fire
from the nests. 'Dakln and Nelson,
now leaderless, continued to advance
into the woods, scouting around fur
ther. Not finding anything, they work
ed their way to a clearing at the edge
of the woods where they got behind
a lor. There they watched the woods.
After an hour they located the machine
gun nest, four in number, all cleverly
camouflaged, the nearest nest Deing
Just over the log.
As the German arminltlon man was
returning to the nest from a particular
clump of the woods, and was about
to enter the nest ne? rest to the Yanks,
Dakln shot him dead. The two Yanks
then rushed the nests. Meeting in hand
to hand combat, they killed five or tne
enemy crew, the other Jerry making
his escape. The other nests by now
bad realized that they were discovered
and opened fire on the Yanks, killing
their own man who was running to
cover. The fire from the enmey caus
ed Dakin and Nelson to fall back
again to the woods, where they de
cided to work their way to the rear
where they sighted the amunition
dump and other nests. Opening up
with their 46's they cleared the re
mainder of the nests, killing and rout
ing crews, and taking a German ma
jor prisoner. They now decided to
return to their own lines, and as thev
emerged from the woods a burst of
fire was opened upon them, killing the
