Belgians and Blue Devils Parade Home via Global Trek
A group of 353 Belgians and nearly 100 French Blue Devils veterans traveled from Russia through France to reach the United States en route home. Their 6,000 mile journey took them past Archangel and into Vladivostok before sailing to San Francisco, with many married to Russian women and some carrying medals for bravery. They shared stories of endurance, battles from Marne to Ypres and Antwerp, and encounters with Kerensky’s Russia.
