EDITORS COMMENTS
Sergeant Alvin Cullum York: An American Hero of World War I This powerful image captures the moment of triumph for Sergeant Alvin Cullum York (1887-1964), one of the most decorated soldiers of the First World War. The photograph was taken on the hill in the Argonne Forest, near Cornay, France, after the war had ended in 1919. The site holds historical significance as it was the location of a daring raid led by York and his men on October 8, 1918. During this raid, Sergeant York and his company, consisting of just 17 men, managed to capture 132 German prisoners, making it one of the most heroic and successful actions of the war for the American forces. The image shows York standing proudly on the hill, looking out over the landscape with a sense of accomplishment and determination. Born in Pall Mall, Tennessee, York enlisted in the US Army in 1917. His bravery and leadership during the war earned him numerous accolades, including the Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross, and the Croix de Guerre. This photograph serves as a testament to his heroic actions and the significant role he played in the Allied victory during World War I. The Argonne Forest, located in northeastern France, was a notorious battleground during the war, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. The image of Sergeant York on the hill, surrounded by the lush greenery, provides a stark contrast to the brutal realities of war and highlights the courage and determination of the American soldiers who fought valiantly to secure a victory for their country.
