colonel Cockefair's group on the right advanced on a small distance from
the line of departure and was pinned down by enetq 8DI&l.l arms, mortar and
artillery fire. The left platoon of this group was forced to withdraw and
reorganize. Toe group then started to advance again and progresbed satisfac
torily to the creek shown on attached overlays where it was held up by mortar
and artillery fire. Lieutenant Fernow of the 67th, with his FO sergeant,
sergeant Vernon J. Stromberg, 36024095, Headquarters Battery, went forward
..,ith the asault wave of this group and Lieutenants Van Fleet and I,&.Dgsdorf
remained at the C? of the group commaDier.
The obervers from the 67th who accompanied both groups forward continued
to advance I'lith them all ci<q and were continually subjeoted to enem;y fire of
all Vpes. The many hedge rows hampered their field of observation but.o.,they
were able to adjU5t fire on several points of resistance aDd suspected ene~
observation posts. However, ma.uy of the missioD3 in support of the attack
were fired btl air observers of the battalion.

At this time Lt. col. Daniels decided. to attempt no further crossing cluring
