Text Appearing Before Image:
Howe maintained his com-mand at the church and after the last man of hiscompany had left, followed the raiding party outso as to make sure that no (wounded or) unwoundedAmericans were left within the enemy lines. Hethen returned to our lines. The total elapsed timeof the raid, including artillery preparation, was fifty-three minutes. Forty per cent of the outpost com-pany of a well known Jaeger Battalion was taken (137) prisoner, and due to Captain Howes daring andmasterly leadership, the total American casualtieswere one wounded.
