Title	French Grenadiers at Marne
Description	French Grenadiers taken at the Battle of the Marne in France. The soldiers are shown in trenches.
Historical note	The Second Battle of the Marne took place during the Summer of 1918. During the Spring Offensive, the German Army advanced over the Aisne in late May and reached the Marne on June 5th. The French Army was in poor condition and the Commander-in-Chief, Henri-Philippe Petain knew the British were tied up at Lys. Eventually Sir Douglas Haig agreed to send Petain four divisions and two divisions of the recently arrived United States Army were available. Over 85,000 American soldiers took part in the battle.
