Purple Heart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 12 Purple Heart From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Purple Heart is a United States military decoration awarded in the name of the President to Purple Heart those wounded or killed, while serving, on or after April 5, 1917, with the U.S. military. With its forerunner, the Badge of Military Merit, which took the form of a heart made of purple cloth, the Purple Heart is the oldest military award still given to U.S. military members; the only earlier award being the obsolete Fidelity Medallion.

Chapter 11: the United States Fights in the “War to End All Wars,” 1917-1918
SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY Chapter 11: The United States Fights in the “War to End All Wars,” 1917-1918 The study of World War I should start with general histories of the whole war. The best single volume on the AEF is Edward M. Coffman, The War to End All Wars: The American Military Experience in World War I (Oxford University Press, 1968). The essential statistics on the American war effort may be found in Leonard P. Ayres, The War with Germany: A Statistical Summary (Government Printing Office, 1919). The background for the American intervention may be found in Justus Doenecke, Nothing Less Than War: A New History of America’s Entry into World War I (University Press of Kentucky, 2011), which will likely become the definitive work on the topic; Arthur S. Link, Wilson: Confusions and Crises, 1915- 1916 (Princeton University Press, 1964), and Wilson: Campaigns for Progressivism and Peace, 1916-1917 (Princeton University Press, 1965). Thomas Boghardt takes a fresh look at The Zimmerman Telegram: Intelligence, Diplomacy, and America’s Entry into World War I (Naval Institute Press, 2012). Essential to understanding the American president at the center of this era is John Milton Cooper, Jr.’s definitive Woodrow Wilson: A Biography (Knopf, 2009), a Pulitzer Prize finalist and a compelling treatment of a complex subject. For a major analysis of the war as international conflict, see the essays in Allan R. Millett and Williamson Murray, eds., Military Effectiveness, Vol. I: The First World War (Allen & Unwin, 1988), which treats all the major belligerents except Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire; Timothy Nenninger deals therein with the U.S.

“Getting Rid of the Line:” Toward an American Infantry Way of Battle, 1918-1945
“GETTING RID OF THE LINE:” TOWARD AN AMERICAN INFANTRY WAY OF BATTLE, 1918-1945 ________________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ________________________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Earl J. Catagnus, Jr. May, 2017 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Gregory J.W. Urwin, Advisory Chair, Department of History Dr. Jay Lockenour, Department of History Dr. Beth Bailey, Department of History Dr. Timothy K Nenninger, National Archives and Records Administration ii © Copyright 2017 By _Earl J. Catagnus, Jr._ All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the development of America’s infantry forces between 1918-1945. While doing so, it challenges and complicates the traditional narrative that highlights the fierceness of the rivalry between the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. During the First World War, both commissioned and enlisted Marines attended U.S. Army schools and served within Army combat formations, which brought the two closer together than ever before. Both services became bonded by a common warfighting paradigm, or way of battle, that centered upon the infantry as the dominant combat arm. All other arms and services were subordinated to the needs and requirements of the infantry. Intelligent initiative, fire and maneuver by the smallest units, penetrating hostile defenses while bypassing strong points, and aggressive, not reckless, leadership were all salient characteristics of that shared infantry way of battle. After World War I, Army and Marine officers constructed similar intellectual proposals concerning the ways to fight the next war. Although there were differences in organizational culture, the two were more alike in their respective values systems than historians have realized.

RELEASE #2008-10-17-02 October 21, 2008 ‘Victory Corps’ played vital role in Meuse-Argonne Offensive of World War I By Dave Melancon, U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs CHATEL-CHÉHÉRY, France -- Ninety years ago Soldiers of the Allied Forces under the command of French Gen. Ferdinand Foch began their last major assault of World War I against the German army in eastern France. According to Foch’s plans, “The Grand Offensive” of 1918 would deprive the well-dug- in German Imperial army the opportunity to shift its reserve forces and cut the enemy’s supply and communications lines between their occupied territory and Germany. The American Expeditionary Force’s 1st Army, under the command of Gen. John “Blackjack” Pershing and later, Gen. Hunter Liggett, would push north while the 2nd, under the command of Gen. Robert Lee Bullard, would push to the east. The Grand Offensive included the following separate battles: U.S. Army Photo • Meuse-Argonne Offensive A mule train transports rations from the railhead to cook shacks just launched by the American back of the firing line during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive of 1918.

In March ofScott Chantler's grandfather, Law Chantler, shipped out across the Atlantic for active service with the Highland Light Infantry of Canada, along with his best friend, Jack, a fellow officer. Not long afterward, they would find themsel A beautifully illustrated and poignant graphic memoir that tells the story of World War II from an Everyman's perspective. Not long afterward, Two Generals would find themselves making a rocky crossing of the English Channel, about to take part in one of the most pivotal and treacherous military operations of World Two Generals II: the Allied invasion of Normandy. Two Generals tells the story of what happened there through the eyes of these two young men -- not the celebrated military commanders or politicians we often hear about, but everyday heroes who risked their lives for the Allied cause. Meticulously researched and gorgeously illustrated, Two Generals is a harrowing story of battle and a touching story of friendship -- and a vital and vibrant record of unsung heroism.
