Another crossing of the Moselle was made, just south of the fortress city of Metz and this time
we operated in the line but in positions of a defensive nature. On the 3rd of November, and after relief of
Battalion positions in the bridgehead sector by the 818th TD Bn, we were attached to the 90th Infantry
Division and moved North to join them, assembling in the genera] area, Higny, Preutin, Domprix, and
Bertrameix. The following day the Battalion reorganized under a new is T/O and T/E and made a
blackout march to the North under adverse weather conditions to the vicinity of Boust. A week of
indirect firing helped soften the Germans defenses across the Moselle.
