Pershing Recalls AEF Battle at Chateau Thierry and Paris Drive
General Pershing describes the first American machine gun battalion action at Chateau Thierry on May 31 and June 1. He notes the Second division’s rapid move toward Paris, the French relief, and the open warfare tactic proving decisive against German attacks. The account covers Allied council debates on July shipments, Foch’s pressure for infantry, and the joint U.S. plan approved with Weygand.
