The Forgotten Army Soldiers That Fought Alongside the Marines at Belleau Wood

Belleau Wood is where the Marine Corps became the legend we know of today. It's the battle that gave birth to the term "Devil Dogs," the fight that turned a small naval infantry force into a legendary fighting force. Every Marine knows the name, as each recruit is still required to learn the story. But few remember that U.S. Army soldiers fought and died in the battle, charging alongside the Marines into German machine-gun and artillery fire.
