Pershing's Narrative Of A E F In The Marne Counteroffensive
General Pershing describes American and Allied forces breaking the German salient near Soissons in July 1918. American divisions spearheaded the attack, with French Moroccan troops and French units, advancing along the Paris Soissons road toward Berry le Sec and Chateau Thierry. The assault, beginning July 18, pushed the foe back across the Marne, halting a German offensive and shifting momentum to the Allies.
