History books on this topic only go so far into what was happening in the moment during the confusing hours of battle. This book gives a rare insight to what the commanders were messaging back and forth between the companies, and the battalion commanders. Also, dispatches sent to and from the division headquarter elements.

A truly fascinating look at the campaigns of the 2^nd Infantry Division’s during World War One from the inside.

A brief history of the actions of Marines during World War One is as follows:

The 3^rd Infantry Brigade was originally formed during WWI. It served in France as one of the two infantry brigades of the 2nd Infantry Division and all Marine combat units in World War I were organized under the 4th Marine Brigade. The 4th fought actions at Asine Defensive, Belleau Woods, Soissons, St Mihiel, Blanc Mont, and the Meuse Argonne campaign.

The Victory medal awarded to the 2^nd Division had five campaign bars. In order, from top to bottom, was the Aisne, Aisne Marne, St Mihiel, Meuse Argonne, and the Defensive Sector.

There are 457 pages in total in the book that comes in an 8.5 x 11 staple bound format.
