Heritage Scrappers Monthly Mega – January 2020

Indelibly tied to Americans, “Doughboys” became the most enduring nickname for the troops of General John Pershing’s American Expeditionary Forces, who traversed the Atlantic to join war-weary Allied armies fighting on the Western Front in World War I. From the web page: “The Great War”, as WWI was known at the time, marked the first time in history the United States sent soldiers abroad to defend foreign soil. Over 4.7 million men and women served in the regular U.S. forces, national guard units, and draft units with about 2.8 million serving overseas. There were 53,402 killed in action, 63,114 deaths from disease and other causes, and about 205,000 wounded.
