Under French command, the US 114th Infantry Regiment attacked into the Meuse Heights on October 12, 1918. The experience of Company B, 114th Infantry, was unfortunately typical of the American experience of fighting in World War I. Then-CPT William Reddan later recorded those experiences in his searing memoir "Other Men's Lives: The Experiences of a Doughboy, 1917-1919."
