“Bullets, Bandages and Beans:” A Talk on United States Army Logistics in France in World War I

Historian Peter Belmonte joins the podcast to discuss his latest collaboration with Alexander Barnes on lesser known aspects of the United States’ participation in the First World War. The story of how the AEF was supplied with “bullets, bandages, and beans” is just as fascinating as the tales we’ve often heard from the front.

Meuse Argonne – An Oppressive Silence

In the last days of the First World War, the Americans continued to pursue and batter German forces as they retreated behind the River Meuse. Even as armistice negotiations began, the AEF continued attacking. 

 

It kept doing so until the guns fell silent at 11:00 am on the 11th of November, 1918.
