EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and determination of American troops during the Battle of Cantigny in northern France on May 28, 1918. Part of the larger Second Battle of the Marne and the final major offensive of the First World War in Europe, the Battle of Cantigny marked the first major victory for the American Expeditionary Force (AEF). In this image, American soldiers can be seen advancing across the battlefield, their rifles at the ready, as they engage the enemy alongside French tanks. The sight of these powerful machines of war, with their menacing cannons and tracks, would have been an awe-inspiring and intimidating sight for the German forces. The American soldiers, many of whom were volunteers, fought bravely that day, using their bayonets to take ground and push back the enemy. The Battle of Cantigny was a significant moment in World War 1, marking the beginning of the end for the German forces in the West. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought in this great war, and the important role that the United States played in the eventual Allied victory.
