WWI Diary of Pvt. Robert L. Dwight, 148th Infantry, 37th Division
Recorded by his grandson Wm. McPherson
The Verdun Front
On Sept. 26th with Montfaucon as objective the 37th Division went "over the top" under a heavy artillery barrage on on the extreme right of the Argonne Forest. This strip of land extending for about thirty miles was known to the French as Death Valley which had been taken and retaken four different times by both the French and German forces at a loss of about 100,000 men to the French alone. The Americans took this ground with a comparatively small loss of men in about ten hours which the Germans and French had fought over for four years.
We started over at daybreak and we were all rather nervous. It was real foggy and until it lifted the advance was slow on account of machine gun fire. After 9:00 AM we started in earnest taking many prisoners and captured several machine guns and automatic rifles as well as several pieces of light artillery.
We advanced about nine miles and dug in for the night on the side of a hill. It didn't happen to rain during the night but none of us rested well as the grub we had was to last us two days so the first day we went hungry.
Sept. 27th, was up before daylight and had breakfast of which I furnished a can of corned bill and Corp. Stephenson, the hard takck which was washed down with a couple of swallows of water. We were on top of the hill before daylight and had advanced within a half mile of the village of Ivoiry which after about two hours of hard fighting we took the village and about 100 prisoners, ten heavy machine guns and fourteen light machine guns and automatic rifles.
We started through the town and it there that "Fritz" opened up and we got our first real shelling. We were told to get to the far side of town the best we could. Sgt. Simeral, Corp. Stephenson and his squad took a short cut through a broken down building and the rest of the platoon followed, got to the outskirts of the village, into a trench and after walking about ten yards, we heard a shell coming which struck near enough to cover Lieut. Taylor, Sgt. Simeral, Corp Stephenson and myself with dirt. About eleven AM got my first whiff of real gas and while putting on my mask a shell struck near enough to fill my mask with dirt and bounce a piece of shrapnel off my tin hat.
We advanced about a mile to the top of a hill in the direction of Ciergis and the hill was mined but luck was with us for we did not get close enough to where the mines were planted to do any damage among us. After exploding the mines the "Jerrys" began to drop some shrapnel around us and we were ordered to retreat.
On arriving back to the town again a German was found in a church tower with an underground telephone connection with the German artillery but he will never transmit messages again. For it was on his account that the "Boche" artillery was getting so many direct hits as he was giving the information as to where we were. We again dug in for the night.58 M vii Curtis Benjamin Tavenner [scrapbook] "Ben" was born on 6 Apr 1896 in Parkersburg, Wood County, West Virginia. He died in 1946 in Akron, Summit County, Ohio.
(NOTE from Frank Tavener: After much consideration, I’ve decided to combine the information regarding the names Curtis B. Tavenner and Benjamin Tavenner. Throughout my research, I had them listed as brothers, however, I now believe they are the same person.
Here are some of my reasons for this decision:
-- in the 1900 census, Ada Tavenner lists number of children born to her as 8; in the 1910 Census she lists the number of children as 10 (Those are the same numbers I get when Curtis and Benjamin are counted as one child.)
-- the wives of Curtis and Benjamin are listed in the census as Mabel and May (May could be shortened from Mabel) and the estimated birth year is the same for both wives
-- the name Curtis only shows up in the 1910 and 1930 census, and the name Bennie and Benjamin only show up in the 1900 and 1920 census (The names never show up together)
-- when Curtis is listed, it is usually followed by the middle initial B. (Benjamin?), whereas when Benjamin is listed, there is never a middle initial shown
-- although about the same age, only one name -- Curtis B. -- shows up on the Ohio Military Men, 1917-18 Roster)
