CHAPTER IX THE DEPOT DE MACHINES At dawn of the 28th, the two battalions, with "M, " "K, " and "I" across the front, took up their slow and groping progress across the ridges. A more difficult country for an infan- try advance, or one better suited to delaying rear-guard action, it would be hardly possible to find. The ridges were cloaked in a dense growth of small trees and the bottoms choked with underbrush ; it was seldom possible to see over twenty yards, often not five ; the keeping of dir...ection and of contact was a problem new with every moment, and each opening through the leafy wall was a death trap.
