Securing the flanks

Article Abstract:

An account of the first combat operation launched by the 5th and 6th Regiments of the US Marine Corps along with the 9th and 23d Infantry Regiment that made up the US Army's 2nd Division on European soil, with the objective of claiming the German-held Bois de Bellau-Belleau Wood, is presented. The fights by US Marines to take Belleau Wood achieved little in terms of real estate, but they proved to be of much greater value from the standpoint of American morale.
