The Lost Battalion WWI Cemetery They had spent more time

They had spent more time in combat than any other American unit

A special emphasis has been placed on the colors of Serbian uniforms from the period

and to the memorials erected to the victims

to what they thought about their service along every step of the way

The Lost Battalion WWI Cemetery They had spent more timeDescription by Thomas M. Johnson & Fletcher Pratt Paperback For a generation the Lost Battalion exemplified the best of Americas involvement in World War I. Until World War II pushed the Lost Battalion out of the national memory with its own scenes of horror and heroism, mention of the units name summoned up what America admired in its soldiers: unpretentious courage, dogged resistance, and good cheer and adaptation under adversity.
