    When you, an American, need to go to France and fight alongside British, Indian, and other allied soldiers in Belgium against the Germans because some Serb shot an Austrian in Sarajevo.

    It’s important to note too, that the Marines were among the few already battle hardened forces the US sent. They had fought in the Battle of Veracruz earlier that year, as well as many parts of the Banana Wars. GySgt Dan Daly was already a two time MOH recipient when he fought the Battle of Belleau Wood. He told his Marines “C’mon you sons of bitches… do you want to live forever?”

    My great grandpa had his illiterate Native American mother sign a paper saying he was 18...or as she told them "he was a man now, capable of being warrior." He was only 16...but the Army took him in and sent him to the 336th Field Artillery, then to France from May 1918 to September 1918. When he returned, she always said he saw and did things that the bravest warriors would be changed by. Changed he was, but he always told my grandpa he never let it affect him on the inside. "All the water in the world can't sink a ship, until it gets inside of it." Thanks for this. I will never forget you Great Grandpa Brown...

    My great grandfather volunteered and went to fight in Europe during WW1. He fought during the Meuse-Argonne offensive, and eventually he did come home after 1919 after being stationed within Germany after the end of the war. According to my family, he came back a very different man from what he was before volunteering absolutely refusing to talk about the war unless it was to my great uncle, who fought in WW2. The war really changed people. He survived multiple gas attacks and it is assumed he only survived because he was such a good shot, growing up as a Texas plains settler in the late 1800s to early 1900s.

    I would like to see a video about the American fire and flame regiment, this regiment not only dealt with experimental flamethrowers but was also the main highlight of the American gas research program that made Americas chemical weapons during the war, this regiment also had the nickname of "the hellfire boys", there is a book on them named hellfire boys if you want to check it out

    The refusal to retreat has a pleasing after-echo during the Battle of the Bulge in the next war, when the Germans demanded the Americans surrender, only to get the famous "nuts" reply. Fresh to the fight and relatively inexperienced compared to the veteran French and British troops, perhaps, but certainly not short of determination and courage.

    I was a Marine. On our Med. deployment we were in France and visited the Belleau Wood battlefield and cemetery. It was very emotional for some young Marines. The guys who fought in that battle were held on a pedestal and set the example we were expected to live up to.

    i just want to compliment the animators on the accuracy of the animations. from the green/brown color of the us uniforms, the greener m1917 helmets, khaki gear, and the little details like the collor insignia and sight hoods on the springfield rifles. you dont often see such attention to detail from animations. bravo!

    I have a great and personal interest in WWI. My great uncle fought in WWI. A member of the 77th "Liberty" Division, he was a member of the company that was on the right flank of the famous "Lost Battalion" in the Argonne when they were cut off, and as a member of that outfit, finally helped to rescue them. He was killed a couple of weeks later, as his outfit fought it's way through the Argonne. Whenever I visit the National WWI Museum & Memorial here in Kansas City where I live, and I walk over the glass walkway extended over a field of poppies at the entrance, it never fails to hit me, that he is one of them. An entire lifetime not lived, children not had, grandchildren never born, and cousins I never met, all taken away in a woodland in western France, 104 years ago.

    Massive respect to the Harlem Hellfighters, those boys never got the praise they deserved in that era

    During Bellau Wood, the Germans thought they had the advantage with Bellau Wood being seen as home turf by them. However, the marines fighting there were mostly composed of boys from Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas and West Virginia.

    I served in the Navy on a ship named the Belleau Wood(LHA-3)from 1987-89. It was the 2nd ship named after the WW1 battle.

    Many countries often underestimate the grit of the American soldier.

    My grandfather was German 1917, he died in Passchendaele (Eingreif division) but his brother survived the war having witnessed the Christmas truce, and he had a lot of respect for the Americans.

    The story of Sergeant Alvin C. York is so unique. The movie and his diary give an insight into the war from the eyes of a Tennessee man.
