More information
Due to the slower progress of the 90th Division, our left flank was exposed and enemy snipers infiltrated and inflicted some casualties. In spite of the intensely cold, wet weather which caused a great many of our men to be evacuated with trenchfoot, we maintained our positions until February 9th, at which time the 63rd A.I.B. moved in and relieved us.
