First World War.com - Primary Documents - Erich Ludendorff on the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, 1922 The Meuse-Argonne Offensive, jointly launched by U.S. and French forces on the Western Front in front of the Argonne Forest east of Verdun in late September 1918, comprised one of the key offensives of the war and by the armistice had successfully driven north up the west bank of the Meuse to the Belgian border.

WWI Chapter 35 The object of the Meuse-Argonne offensive, said General Pershing in his report of November 20th, 1918, was "to draw the best German divisions to our front and to consume them." This sentence expresses better than any long description not only the object, but also the outcome of the operation. In the first stages of this advance, they were assisted by the 28th, 32nd and 77th American Division, but, by September 15th, all of these were withdrawn for the coming Meuse-Argonne offensive of the American Army. The day after the opening of the Oise-Aisne offensive, the British launched the first of a series of attacks in the Ypres sector, which continued, with some interruptions, to the time of the Armistice and may be termed the Ypres-Lys offensives. chronicles.dickinson.edu /studentwork/sheridan/steese/WWIch35.html   (1424 words)
