The words 'Retreat? Hell, we just got here' have become a central
part of the legend of the US Marine Corps, indicative of its
reputation for dogged determination and bravery. Uttered at the
height of the fierce battle for Bellau Wood, the phrase came to
define the Corps, establishing their 'first to fight' ethos in the
public eye. This history follows the experiences of the Marines
during the Great War, from their training in the US and France
through the fighting in the trenches and battlefields of the
Western Front and right up to their occupation duties in the
Rhineland. Packed with first-hand accounts and detailed information
from the USMC History Division at Quantico, and published to
coincide with the 100th anniversary of America's involvement in
World War I, this is a timely analysis of one of the US Marine
Corps' finest hours.
