Scraping the Clouds at 3200 feet several Miles West of Nicosia Hill 937 commanded the entire Valley roads. If we were going to Bunch Forward and take Nicosia we had to take Hill 037. That night a battalion recon patrol went to the top saw no enemy and Drew no fire and returned to report. To several hours la ter a platoon under staff sgt. James Clapp Greenville Ohio was to take the Mil pushing through to the top the platoon suddenly came Spon a Bunch of Jerries digging in 15 Yards away. Quot we were Kinda surprised a said Clapp. But the wind was making lots of noise and the Jerries neither saw nor heard them. Next morning the battalion commander had plotted a plan to his staff. It was Tough. Everything had to be perfectly timed and coordinated. On the left slope of the Hill there was a stretch of l00q Yards. Where the cover was almost insignificant. And right in the Peak was a full company of Heinie a lot of their 81 my. Mortars and machine guns and several Quot screaming Mee Miesz. In addition they had kept a constant artillery of watch. Infantry hah it hard coming up against that any infantry charge would be mowed Down Long before it reached the top. The Only solution was to Pound the Hill with such a terrific barrage that All the Heinie on the Hilltop would be forced to take cover on the reverse slope. And this artillery Oover had to be constant and close. At 1838 hours jump off time two e and a advanced the tree. Aust i wanting a run yanks in san continued pm pipe 41 off.

Then someone must have got wind of this German counterattack and the Mem go was passed up to us to puh Hack. But before we could a he had us pinned Cut. Manley l. Ankey of Lansing Mich interjected Quot hell every one off those Nasis must carry an automatic weapon. They really poured it to us. But they Are Lousy shots and that machine pistol of theirs is Lousy but it gets off so Many shots some Are bound to hit something. Ever heard the bullets whining they sound like a Bunch of Quot some of the boys had silencers on their rifles and some had some kind of a souped up sight. We had to watch out for them. A it.

As anon As our to bops got within 50 Yards of the top All of our artillery shifted its Range to the reverse slope where the Jerries were dug in. For the next three hours there a a no mans land of not More than 20 Yards. With the americans on the Peak and the Jerries on the reverse slope separated Only by a Small sloping Ridge neither could rout the other. Several times both sides tried to Advance always they wore stopped. So they started mor Taring each other throwing hand grenades. When Cpl.
