The document is typed by Lt. Col. Hubert D. Barnes to the Adjutant General in Washington, D.C.The troops marched through France and Belgium at the beginning of October to a town near Weiswampach in Luxemburg. It was a very rainy month. A list of enemy materials the battalion destroyed and damaged are listed. Enemy action was focused on improving defense positions and sporadic bursts of artillery. Two casualties, but both were being treated for their injuries. Because of little enemy action, an emphasis was being placed on training. The Red Cross also visited to show a movie.
