Just whistle real low into the phone If you want me, Back in the command Dost Capt Vergil Patterson of Ed monn, Okla, told the huddle of anxious officers "My observer's got himself into tne miaaie ox tne Germane We'll be getting something now." - Voice Heard And then the voice of Pvt. Clark: - "Battery left 100 yards. We are on some macnlne guns. In the command post we could near tne Jerry guns. B-r-r-r-D, b-r-r-r-p, b-r-r-p. Then Patterson ordered his 153 howitzers 100 yards to the left and in a few seconds we heard four reports as quick as a carpenter can pound a nail. It was the climactic moment of a hectic bewildering five hours of night fighting with all the hazards, sudden turns of unex pected fortunes of war marked by one of the most savage al though restricted night counter- attacKS tne uermans naa launcn ed in recent weeks. I arrived in the little town of Filignano just at dusk and Just as the Germans threw in a sudden barrage of artillery fire, shrapnel f rrtm thp first rnund nf whlrh shattered the. windshield of our Jeep, driven by Sgt.

Johnny Cra faik of New York City. This was the most ambitious of a number of night patrols that were out.to shoot upj, blow up and mix up the Germans. Craifaik's men were Just going down our most forward slope with their weapons. But what we didn't know and what they didn't know was that the German at the same moment was launching a project of his own to shoot up, blow up and mix up the Ameri cans. , Germans Drive Goats "" Three or four Germans with machine pistols were at the same time driving a herd of goats down their slope Immediately opposite. As they approached our lines, the hoise of the goats alarmed our outposts who opened fire. To com plete tne illusion of an attack the Germaa goat herders let go with their machine pistols. The sound of the firing 'drifted down to us at the command post. - This encounter discouraged Cra faik's men from pursuing their project. They retired from the hill to wait for a better night The German goat herders, meanwhile, ran back and forth firing their machine pistols and driving the goats slowly forward a diversion on our left flank before their Sunday punch on our right . the height of this enlace ment between their goats and our "K" company, Jerry smasnea in with his main attack on "I" com pany, led by Lt.
