On the 16th of Sept, the battalion moved out towards the river at 0715.  The Moselle was crossed without incident in a heavy smoke screen.

I sure don’t know what I’ll sleep in tonight because everything is wet.  Reminds me of Tennessee.

A little French girl has been over a dozen times yesterday.  I gave her everything I got I didn’t want.  This morning they brought over a pie.  I gave her four packages of cigarettes for it for her papa.  She left all smiles.
