Americans and French Guard Alsatian Strip in France
In June 1918 American and French troops guard a narrow Alsace strip from German control, near the Swiss frontier and Bartmannswellerkopf. The Alsatians welcome the relief, hoping for swift victory as youths of German descent discuss Kaiser in their language. The sector is quiet, used as a rest area for troops from Verdun and Picardy. The American journey was uneventful aside from routine aerial bombing and brief railhead movements.
