A GUIDE TO THE WW1 BATTLEFIELDS OF EUROPE Prepared by the American Battle Monuments Commission

This 1927 American Battle Monuments Commission guide is organised by region and campaign: Aisne-Marne, St. Mihiel, Meuse-Argonne, Champagne, and the areas north of Paris including Flanders, Ypres, the St. Quentin Canal Tunnel and Cantigny. It includes narrative, photographs and maps. It also includes useful summaries on American mobilisation for war and the organisation of American forces for deployment to Europe, the services of supply, the Navy, defensive sectors, and planned cemeteries and memorials.

General of the Armies John Pershing, who had led the American Expeditionary Forces in France during World War I, became Chairman of the American Battlefield Monuments Commission in 1923. Major Dwight Eisenhower was sent to his staff. Eisenhower drafted this volume.

A solid reference for those who wish to know about the American involvement in the Great War, and also good for family members discovering where a doughboy great-grandfather fought - this classic is a good place to start.
