"This letter is to inform you that
Dr. William Henry Gordon of your
chapter was taken prisoner of war in
action with my regiment on the night
of April 13-14, 1918.
Describes 'Raid
"When Lieutenant Gordon came with
us here, he volunteered to take our
first aid station in the trenches and,
in so doing, he placed himself daily
under severe shell-fire. On the night
of April 13-14, we were raide(I and
he, along with six of our men, was
taken prisoner. The Boches in great'
numbers swooped down on our first
aid station and threw hand grenades
in their dugout. Only one of the seven
men and one officer were injured and
the six men were taken prisoners.
Is Michigan Man
"I am a Michigan man, 1915 Dent,
and while there, Dr. Gordon was my
anatomy instructor. I might add that
we routed the Germans who - outnum-
bered us and retained our trenches
which they attempted to take. They
were driven back to their holes in'
short order, losing two to three times
as many as they took from us. We
were all cared but not yellow and
fought them off their feet. Our bat-
talion received special commendation:
from General Pershing for our work
that night' and I feel that we probably
have stood the gaff as well as any of
the other American troops and 'came
up smiling.'
Harold R. Mead
1st Lieut., D. C. U. S. R."
German Disguise
Another letter received at the same
time of the above states that the Ger-
mans entered the first aid station dis-
guised as Red Cross workers and
that particular trouble had been taiien
to find positively that Dr. Gordon was
taken uninjured.
