When the United States entered World War I in 1917, it sent the
American Expeditionary Force to relieve the worn and beleaguered
Allied Forces. On September 20, 1917, Congress approved the
creation of the 2nd division of the 4th brigade of the American
Expeditionary Force. A hybrid Marine/Army unit, it was conceived
and ultimately formed overseas, primarily from units in France.
Giving themselves the nickname ""Second to None,"" the second
division effectively stopped the German drive on Paris in June
1918, becoming the first American unit to engage the enemy and
revitalizing the Allied war effort. This volume details the
fighting experiences of the 4th brigade, 2nd division, from its
creation in the fall of 1917 through 1919. The book follows the
unit from training in Toulon, through the major campaigns including
Chateau Thierry, Soissons, Blanc Mont and Meuse Argonne and records
the experiences of the men who served. Appendices provide
information regarding the pedigree of the division and its units; a
syllabi of the 2nd division's experiences; and a list of major
awards received by 2nd division personnel. Detailed maps and period
photographs are also included.
