Arthur Schwantz who served with the artillery and who was in the
battle line for eleven days, says that his whole life previous to
that time had not crowded in the excitement he experienced for
that short period. Schwantz, who has just arrived in the city and
is at the home of his parents north of the town says that he is
going to stick to the farm and is glad to have the chance to do it.
The local soldier went into action at Toul and when the armistice
was signed was with his command six miles from Metz and his command
would have been sent against Metz from the right if the orders to
move had been issued. “The man who tells you he didn’t have the
ague the first time he got into the line is a price prevaricator:
says Schwantz who declared that he expected death every minute the
first night he was on the firing line. “After the first two or three
days you forget about the shells and danger and go ahead like a
machine” he said. Schwantz lost a brother in the war, Bertram
Schwantz, who was killed in action.
