On the morning ofAugust 7, 1918, Herren supplied the Company withspare machine-guns and ammunition through adeadly artillery barrage after several carrying detailshad failed to get through. The company had lostfour machine-guns and was practically without am-munition at this time. After distributing machine-guns and ammunition to the different platoons underterrific machine-gun fire, he showed extraordinaryheroism by pushing forward on the right flank witha captured light German Maxim machine-gun andrepulsing a counter-attack.
