1ST INFANTRY DIVISION

CANTIGNY

Somme Sector, France
28–31 May 1918

The first American offensive of the war.

A small French village on high ground.
German trenches reinforced. Machine guns positioned to sweep the approaches.

At 0645 the artillery opened.
American infantry moved behind a creeping barrage.

The 1st Infantry Division stepped forward through wire and shell holes.
Village cleared house to house.
Strongpoints reduced with grenades and rifle fire.

The counterattacks came fast.
Artillery. Gas. Repeated assaults.

The line held.

Cantigny proved something.
American forces could attack, seize ground, and hold it against determined counterattack.

Small objective.
Massive signal.

This shirt marks the village where the United States took the offensive for the first time in the Great War.

Not a tribute.
A record.

Village seized.
Counterattacks repelled.
Line held.
