After chow, shovels were issued to us and we began the arduous work of digging gun pits and building dugouts. We constructed the pits by digging in to a depth of three feet, and then placing logs, concrete slabs and sandbags around the edges of the excava- tion. We camouflaged our new positions by stretching wire netting over them, and cover- ing the netting with marsh grass. THE INFANTRY IN ACTION 83 The Huns shelled us repeatedly while we were at work, but all the boys stood up under the musi...c like veterans. We thought the Boches were getting our range when they landed a six-inch shell within thirty yards of our position, but that was the nearest they came to us that day. That night the American infantry, helmeted and ready for battle, marched into our front- line trenches. The infantry beat us to France by nearly two months, but we of the artillery got into action more than twelve hours ahead of the doughboys. After two weeks of work on our battery positions behind the front line, our regiment of artillery went into winter quarters, and we were kept out of the scrap until January, when we went in again with a wallop.
