Appendix

SENATOR JOHN F. McBURNEY, III

The following is an account of an incident that is on file at the United States Army Military History Institute in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

At daybreak, December 10, 1944, after an all night patrol of Company E 411th Regiment of the 103rd Division a fire fight erupted with the enemy outpost one mile south west of Woerth. Alsace, France.

Suddenly and surprisingly the enemy bolted from his fortifications and retreated into the town.

BAR man, William Chick, Private Harold Spinner and Private John McBurney gave chase.

As it turned out they were being led into a trap as the Town was still enemy occupied.

When McBurney reached the main street he was met with a demand to surrender by several of the enemy. Without responding, McBurney ducked back into the courtyard and bolted the door of a high wooded fence.

McBurney then hid in the house of the mayor where he joined up with Chick and Spinner.

The trio took up positions on the second floor giving them an unlimited field of fire.

Although surrounded, Chick killed the enemy commander with a burst of the BAR.

His body lay in the street for the remainder of the day, but was removed under cover of darkness.

That night no one slept in the small room. The sounds of enemy activity could be heard through most of the night.

Before dawn, loud hob nail boots could be heard coming up the stairs and believing this to be the enemy, firing positions were assumed. However, it only turned out to be the mayor himself. He came with the news that the "Boche" had moved out during the night.
