When the armistice was signed, the total embarkations amounted to 2,005,169 troops and 30,665 marines. No troop movement such as that of last summer [1918] had ever been contemplated, and no movement of any such number of troops by water such a distance and in such a time ever occurred. The performance stands unique in the world's history. Furthermore, this performance wrought a decisive effect upon the world's history at one of its great critical junctures.
