Soissons was such an enormous engagement for them, at such a high cost (which I thought James Carl Nelson covered very well in Remains of a Company D).

Cantigny in some respects was a set piece battle arranged to show the French and other Allies (and the Americans themselves) that the doughboys would and could take on the Germans. I would hope that Davenport would follow the Big Red One thorough June and July 1918, especially the fighting south of Soissons. That was a John T.
