SAINT DIE

The action around St. Die by the 30th and 7th regiments centered on the Hill mass to the northeast of the city. The advance in the area started October 31. A Bailey bridge spans the Meurthe River to the avenue Rue Thiers. The Meurthe River was first crossed by advancing troops on November 20 north of St. Die. During the German retreat four bridges over the river and three railway bridges were destroyed.
