Verdun Argonne action returns to World War I memory
A compact history of Verdun and the Argonne campaign highlights the brutal trench warfare era. It recalls the 1916 battles, 200,000 German casualties for 130 square miles, and the later American entry led by Pershing and the Fast Marines. The narrative names Patton, Alvin York, MacArthur, and others, noting the October 4 German demand for peace and the war’s total toll of 8.5 million dead including 53,000 Americans.
