My grandfather fought in this battle. Was decorated for gallantry in action. He also fought in Soissons and Chateau Terrary (sp?). Find and read the book “Through the Wheat”. It was written by a squad mate of his. The work is described as historical fiction, but everything in the book actually took place. The names were changed and deeds done by one character may have been done by more than one person, but they all happened to men in his unit. The falling tree branch incident killed the man laying right next to my granddad.

My ×2 (or maybe ×3) great grandfather was a fought at Belleau Wood. He survived WW1 and lived a long, healthy life afterwards. That's about all I know from hearing other relatives talk about him. My family still has his service records so that's something I'll have to dig up and look at in the future.

I saw a lot of shotguns in this scene. I guess the marines loved shotguns. Great for close combat, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable going into battle without a rifle.

I own several 12 gauge shotguns, I still stand by my statement lol. If I were in battle, I would rather have a 30-06 rifle. But it would be cool to have a short 1897 Winchester shotgun strapped to my back for when I actually got to the German trench.

There was a 3 episode deal on Netflix on ww1 I believe (Canadian Netflix) 1 was a tank crew, other was about a defensive point with Australian and usa crews at the start of the war and how no one was taking it too serious at the start, and then another one also but can’t remember. Can’t remember the name and it’s gone off Netflix , but was really really good! If anyone knows please let us know

This is the battle where the Marines earned the name Devil Dogs. That is what the German soldiers call them. Sir! The Marine Corps is 246 years of walk, talk, hell, death and destruction! Sir! To be a Marine is to live forever! This is why when the flag goes by you get off your ass and put your hand over your heart!! You are honoring those who fought for Your Freedoms! Semper Fi

Most of the combatant nations fielded well trained, volunteer armies at the beginning of the war but as the thing dragged on and bogged down into a trench warfare, meatgrinder of a stalemate, the quality of the soldiers dropped steadily. By the end men were being rushed to the front with only the most basic training.

I find it interesting that when I was in the Marines we were still learning how to fix bayonets and do frontal charges not much different than what Napoleon was doing at the Battle of Waterloo.. I was like damn Gunny we still do this bullshit its the 21st. Century!? He said it was last resort! Its chilling to think things could get so bad they we resort to Japanese style suicide banzai charges...

The battle of Waterloo 1815 on the French Belgium Border involving two huge armies. Napoleon's grand army and an army of coalition forces under the British commander Sir Arthur Welsey (Duke of Wellington) savage hand to hand combat took place in two places farmhouses defended by British troops. It was almost artillery and cavalry charges. If this battle intrest you a feature film Waterloo was released in 1970 and it was made on an epic scale .Well worth a watch.
