American Expeditionary Forces. General Orders France, Dec. 19, 1918. No. 232 It is with a sense of gratitude for its splendid accomplishment, which will live through all history, that I record in General Orders a tribute to the victory of the First Army in the Meuse-Argonne battle, Tested and strengthened by the reduction of the St. Mihiel salient, for more than six weeks you battered against the pivot of the enemy line on the western front. It was a position of imposing natural strength, stret...ching on both sides of the Meuse River from the bit- terly contested hills of Verdun to the almost impenetrable forest of the Argonne; a position, moreover, fortified by four years of labor designed to render it impregnable ; a position held with the füllest resources of the enemy. That position you broke utterly, and thereby hastened the coUapse of the enemy's military power. Soldiers of all of the divisions engaged under the First, Third and Fifth American Corps and the Second Colonial and Seventeenth French Corps— the Ist, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 26th, 28th, 29th, 32nd, 33rd, 35th, 37th, 42nd, 77th, 78th, 79th, SOth, 81st, 82nd, 89th, 90th and 91st American divisions, the 18th and 26th French divisions, and the lOth and 15th French colonial divisions — you will be long remembered for the stubborn persistence of your progress, your storming of ob- stinately defended machine gun nests, your penetration, yard by yard, of woods and ravines, your heroic resistance in the face of counter-attacks supported by powerful artillery fire.
