Battle of Belleau Wood - Where the US Marine Corps came of age and gained their fearsome reputation.
The German Spring Offensive of 1918 had pushed the French 6th Army back to just thirty miles from the outskirts of Paris. There were concerns amongst the allies as to whether the French would be able to hold out against a further advance by the Germans. A Brigade from the US Marine Corps (as part of the US 2nd Division) joined the French frontline in an attempt to stop the onslaught. This is the story of how at Belleau Wood the US Marine Corps showed grit, courage and determination in helping to stop the German advance.
