The author served in the 328th Infantry of the 82nd Division. Holden came from "distinguished Confederate stock". The 328th Infantry Regiment was a unit of the United States Army. Organized during World War I as part of the 82nd Division, the regiment took part in combat in France as part of the American Expeditionary Forces. Its most famous member was Alvin York, who received the Medal of Honor for heroism near the Decauville railway line of Chatel-Chéhéry as part of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. The 328th manned its positions in the Toul sector until early August, when the 82nd Division was relieved by the 89th Division and moved to reserve positions around the towns of Troussey and Rigny-la-Salle. In September, the 328th Infantry took part in combat around the town of Norroy as part of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. Subsequent advances moved the regiment closer to the town of Vandieres, and it sustained numerous casualties. Between September 24 and 26, the regiment moved to the Argonne Forest, and occupied former French positions on the first's southeastern edge. On October 7, the 328th Infantry advanced near La Forge, intending to seize key terrain from the Germans and take possession of the area's Decauville railroad. Fighting continued into October 8, and when American forces were prevented from advancing by German machine guns in key locations including one known as Hill 223, a detachment of soldiers from the regiment's Company G attempted to infiltrate German lines and capture them. The detachment of 17 had captured a large group of German soldiers when sudden German fire resulted in nine casualties, leaving Corporal Alvin York in charge of the remainder. York left his men in charge of the prisoners and worked his way into position to attack the machine guns. After York killed several German soldiers with his rifle, and used his pistol to kill six more as they rushed at him, their commander offered to surrender. The Company G detachment returned to the regimental command post with 132 prisoners. The regiment was able to continue its attack towards the railroad and York later received the Medal of Honor. The 328th continued to fight through the rest of October, primarily near the town of Sommerance. On November 4, the regiment took over positions in Maxey-sur-Vaise, Montigny-devant-Sassey, and Burey-en-Vaux, where they remained on the defensive, rotated soldiers off the front lines for leave in the rear area, and received replacement soldiers to take the places of the...
