Second Group of Wounded Men From Overseas Reach U.S. Army Base Hospital

Autocracy tried mighty hard to put these fellows out of the big fight. With shrapnel and high explosives and a shower of machine gun bullets the Kaiser’s fighters succeeded in downing this group of men, who had gone to the front from North and South Carolina, but the spirit of the wounded “doughboys” only caused their comrades to strike the harder. It is the nerve which brings these men smiling from their cots of pain that shook the German moral and hastened the end of the war.
