The Meuse–Argonne Offensive concluded 108 years ago. Fought from 26 September to 11 November 1918, the Meuse–Argonne Offensive was the American Expeditionary Forces’ largest and bloodiest campaign of World War I. Under the command of Marine Corps Major General John A. Lejeune, the @USArmy's 2nd Division included the 4th Marine Brigade, whose #Marines fought alongside #Army soldiers in the final push against German defenses. Lejeune, who would later become the 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps, led the division during the closing months of the war. 🎥(U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl.
