The next night they marched to Boucq. That night (it was now October 7th) they boarded the waiting tram-train. It was raining steadily and they were thoroughly soaked by the time their four hour ride on these little flat cars had come to an end. They detrained at Essey-et-Maizerais, a town captured from the enemy in the St. Mihiel Drive and consequently in bad shape. After darkness had come, they were taken in trucks to the vicinity of Bouillonville.

The Pannes Sector, as it is officially named, is better known as the St. Mihiel Sector. The Regiment was now attached to the U.S. IV Corps and relieved an infantry regiment of the 89th Division. During the eight days in this sector those troops whose lot it was to occupy  the first  line were  engaged in  some of the hottest trench warfare of the whole 

At about 3 PM October 3rd they received orders to prepare at once to move out on trucks. They drove from Bar-le-Duc to Void-Vacon where they arrived at 08:00 AM. When darkness came they marched fifteen kilometers to Vignot where they stayed the day. In the night it was another grueling fifteen kilometers, which ended at the village of Jouy, where they billeted.
