Don
Martin diary entry for Monday, September 9, 1918:
Went to Paris to attend to the transfer of my bank account from London
to Paris. Came right back. Nothing to do in the evening. The 77th
division made two attacks last night and today but apparently did not make a
success of them so we are writing nothing. Sat around in the evening with F.
Noble Hall of the London Times.
Don Martin’s daily report
for Paris on Monday, September 9, was a short one, published as usual in the
Paris Herald on Tuesday, September 10.
ENEMY TAKES STEPS TO GUARD AGAINST SURPRISE BY YANKS
Machine-Gun Crews Are Reinforced in Ravines North of the Vesle Heights
(SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD)
By DON MARTIN
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES, Monday
There was little activity last
night and to-day in the American sector north of the Vesle. There were
skirmishes between patrols and a savage exchange of artillery fire during the
night, but no infantry action of importance.
The line there remains about as it
was three days ago. The Germans apparently have brought up new machine-gun
crews to meet any attacks the Americans attempt. They have them concealed in
all the ravines north of the Vesle heights.
