  took over 100 prisoners and ten machine guns.

  He afterwards consolidated his position and  established a

  new trench line. Later in the afternoon the Germans

  made a determined effort to recapture their lost ground

  but the company stood firm, and successfully resisted

  every attempt to dislodge them.

  That night, the enemy ventured a surprise attack under

  cover of the darkness , but the men, whom Lt O'Kelly had

  placed in advance posts in front if our line, were ready for

  them, and the threatened attack ended in a rout. 

  Several prisoners including one officer, and a machine gun were

  left in our hands.

  Throughout the day Lt O'Kelly had been always where the

  danger was greatest encouraging the weary, cheering the

  wounded, and inspiring every man of his company with the

  will to conquer. Under such a leader his men were willing to

  go anywhere and do anything.
