This is the story of how the 38th Infantry Regiment still in training, with no combat experience, defeated two elite divisions of the Kaiser's Prussian Guard at the Second Battle of the Marne, saving Paris, and ensuring victory for the Allies. Lt. James Edward Moore was deployed to France in 1918 to fight in the penultimate battle that was the beginning of the end of the German offense in World War I. This is also the story of his journey from a quiet small town in West Virginia to the brutality of the battlefields of France.
