Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Report came in last night at midnight that the big show would start tomorrow, that’s today at 5:00 A.M. Which it did. We were ordered out early but rain prevented until noon when Lt. Chambers and I went up to Verdun then back down to the 3 fingered lake. Saw German artillery retreating which I shot at, they ran into nearby field! Good news the Army advanced to Thiaucourt about 5 kil. all along the lines also St. Mihiel, wired Faunt [Fauntleroy] to bring my plane out soon as possible.
