15-20 July 1918: The Fourth Battle of Champagne & the Battle of the Mountain of Reims—The Germans attacked both to the east & to the west of Reims, the Friedensturm (loosely translated, "Peace Offensive"), ultimately a diversion meant to draw Entente troops away from Flanders; the American 38th Infantry Regiment earned the nickname it holds to this day, the "Rock of the Marne."
Lest we forget.
