Bloodiest Fights of War At Belleau Wood
Edward W. Pickard reviews the week of battles on the French front. German forces under Crown Prince Ruprecht push toward Montdidier and Noyon, but French and American defenses hold and counterattack. Belleau Wood falls to Pershing’s forces, while French, American, and Italian actions disrupt German offensives near Compiegne, Soissons, and Chateau Thierry. Allied aviators score gains as Russia and Siberia rumors swirl. U.S. planning for expanded mobilization and exemptions dominates wartime policy discussions.
