      G.W. Clatterbuck (Guy Walthall) (May 5, 1919)

      G.W. Clatterbuck took aerial route when shell landed in dugout under him.

      G.W. Clatterbuck, of New Bloomfield, in the Argonne Forest fighting, ways the Fulton Telegraph, tells of his experience as follows:
      Clatterbuck and three companions were standing on the top of a dugout that had been used by the Germans from which to direct artillery fire against the allied troops. A shell from German guns landed in the dugout, which had been excavated so that a large dirt roof was left on top. When the shell hit in this hole it blew the top right off and Clatterbuck took an unexpected aerial trip. His two companions were shot forward for a great distance.

      Clatterbuck says the shock was so great that he did not remember a thing until after he landed. It made his so deaf that he does not remember having heard the sound of the explosion, which his comrades later told him was terrific. The fact that the shell was under the dirt top of the dugout prevented the pieces of shrapnel from coming through and undoubtedly saved Clatterbuck�s life.

      He says he went a great distance in the air- he had no means of determining how far- and it seemed to him that he was a long time coming back down. When he landed on terra firma he dislocated his ankle and was sent to the hospital. During that fighting he saw men of his company killed and wounded and he considers himself lucky to have escaped with his life.
