It was dark as Hell itself and of course no lights are permitted as they soon draw fire, even a cigarette butt will do that.”</div> <div style="text-align:center;">-1st Lieutenant Withrow Legge describing combat during the St. Mihiel Offensive</div> Withrow Legge entered military service in late 1917. Upon entering service Legge was sent to Camp Custer, near Augusta, Michigan, to train with the 328th United States Field Artillery where he was made executive officer of the battery before being sent to France. In July 1918, Legge and his unit were sent to France to join the American offensive at St. Mihiel. Legge and his unit were in the thick of the fighting in the St. Mihiel in the last month of the war, where he described the trees being covered with barbed wire and the ground being muddy from the near constant rain during that French fall. One November 11th, at 11 AM, Legge and his unit were occupying German trenches when they received world of the Armistice and were told to cease firing. Legge described the moment by writing that “every gun ceased firing and it got so quiet it was lonesome.” After the Armistice, Legge and his unit stayed in their positions just ten miles from the infamous German stronghold of Metz. It was there that he saw long lines of Allied prisoners from all nations released by Germany pass through his lines all day and night. Withrow Legge returned to his home in Winchester, Virginia and became a teacher. He married Katrina Baumgardner and had a son, Withrow Legge, Jr. Legge died on February 8, 1955.
