THE GLASGOW
HABERDASHERS
HATTERS
A few weeks out of the rain of
shells on jthe battlefields of France,
William R. Gentry, Jr., 19 years old,
nephew- of N. T. Gentry of Columbia,
has returned to St. Louis following an
operation in a French hospital for an
injury sustained when driving an
ammunition truck near Soissons.
He is the son of William R. Gentry,
St., of Vernon avenue, St. Louis-.
His parents had received no word from
him since the cablegram announcing
he would undergo an operation. He
surprised them when, unannounced,
he appeared at their home and greet
ed them with "bon soir."
In his four months in France he has
been mveh of the time under fire. He
was in a gas attack, witnessed the
bombing by Germans of a French hos
pital, was struck by a piece of shrap
nel and on his return vojage his ship
was attacked by a submarine.
He interviewed Germans In the
French prison camps. They told him
they expected the war to end before
spring with Germany defeated. The
prisoners said decreasing man-power
and the virtual starvation of the Ger
man civilian population would force
the end.
Drove at Mplit.
He sailed from New York with the
Philips Andover unit and landed at
Bordeaux May 8. After his arrival at
Paris he was told that a lack of am
bulances would make it necessary for
hin to drive an ammunition truck.
After two weeks training in the French
manual of arms and military tactics,
he was assigned to a truck. He had
had no experience with motors except
that gained driving his father's auto-'
mobile. Soon after his truck had be
come part of an ammunition train
running between Soissons and Rheims,
he was surprised to find Joseph
Desioge, another St. Louis boy, de
tailed on his truck.
Among the duties of the St. Louis
ians was the hauling of shells, hand
grenades, torpedoes and detonating
fuses to the front. They often haul
ed 220-millimeter shells, but more
frequently carried 75-millimeter
shells.
The trucks moved at night except
when the fighting was heaviest. They
were forced to do this because In day
light the German observation bal-i
loons would telephone the location of
khe trucks to the batteries and a bom
bardment would ensue. During one
period of heavy fighting. Gentry said,'
he drove his truck twenty hours a day i
iui ten uaya, now aim men caicmng
a few minutes sleep on the truck
seat.
Struck by Shell.
Gentry told of his first sensation
when under shell fire. He expressed
this by saying that he was "dog-gone
scared." He said he was driving his
truck in the ammunition train, when a
shell dropped about 50 yeards distant, I
pieces of it striking him. j
"We were so frightened," he said.
"that -we all stepped on the accelerator
at the same time and it is a wonder
that our trucks didn't land somewhere
over the German lines. After that,
though, the shells dropped near us so
frequently that we lost our fear. Once
when hauling logs for trench re-enforcements,
a German battery opened
on us. The French soldiers, who -were
unloading the trucks, disappeared
quite suddenly, going to their dug
outs, but we Americans, probably in a
spirit of foolhardincss. remained at
our tasks as the shells dropped all
about us. The Frenchmen hae be
come adroit at dodging and many
often save themselves because of their
skill in this." M
Gentry said he experienced his first
gas attack one night when the ammu
nition train had been heltcd for a few
minutes at Bourget-et-Comin, a vil
lage, now in ruins. j
"We were eating our lunch when a
mountain trumpeter dashed through
the streets blowing a "gas call." We
rushed for our tool boxes for the gas
masks that had been provided. One
of the drivers was slow finding his
mask and was overcome. After that I
always carried by mask on the seat
near me and frequentlv had to use it.
Germans Despondent.
Spare moments were few. Gentry
said, but those he had, he used getting
interviews around the prison camps.
Soldiers and drivers were barred from
these prisoners, but he slipped in when
a guard he had presented with a pack
of cigarettes, looked the other way.
Gentry said he could understand Ger
man and was able to get the sense of
what the prisoners said. They told
him that the German soldiers had
plenty of food, but the civilian popu
lation was suffering for want of it.
This condition and Germany's rapidly
decreasing man-power would end the
war soon, they believed. Some of them
said It was a matter of months, but
none expected It to last longer than
spring.
Among the prisoners ho interviewed
was a German deserter. He was 45
years old and said he was the father
of four children. The prisoner said It
was for his family's sake that he had
deserted, because he knew it was the
