“Lt. Earl Chase, who had  just joined the Battalion, but who had exhibited courageous aggression, was too eager to observe the effectiveness of the field gunners. He was using his binoculars, but forgot the snipers in the new German position, hidden among the rocks and trees across the gap. He was fatally sniped, his body tumbling into the ravine.” Dileas page 302
