What is a hulking pen?

WIA 26 YD
An ancestor of mine served in the 103rd IN Reg. 26th ID “Yankee Division”. He was wounded at some point in October of 1918. His roster at the end of the month states “SLD in hospital”. Any clue as to what “SLD” means? I haven’t had any luck looking it up…

WWI Question
My great great grandfather, served in the US Army during the First World War. I have a few screenshots of muster rolls that told me the unit he belonged to. “Italian Service Regiment, 1st Battalion, Administrative Labor Company #169, Army Service Corps.” From my own time in the Army, I can decipher what this means generally, but as to what he might have actually did, I don’t really know. It looks like all of his muster rolls listed Camp Sermoise, Nievers, France as their camp location. My interpretation is that they used Italian soldiers for labor under American command. Any info or opinion is appreciated! Please and thank you!

Help me find an anecdote about a statue, mentioned somewhere in thr series on youtube.
There was a funny anecdote mentioned by Indy during one of the episodes on the world war. It was either during the german invasion of Belgium or somewhere on the eastern front and it had to do with a statue and a funny comment by a german (I think) high ranking figure, which Indy told. It was really funny and ironical and I cannot seem to find it. Does anyone know what I'm referring to?
