Rumor has it that when the U.S. Army's senior staff officers had learned of the victory that the U.S. Marines had achieved at the Bois de Belleau in the summer of 1918, one of them had remarked, "Those head-line hunting bastards!" When reading the attached column you will easily get the sense that the army was fed-up with the folks at home believing that those same Marines were responsible for the Army's success at Chateau-Thierry, too.

The war was already over by the time this piece appeared in print (unlike the poster that appears above), making it clear to the readers of Literary Digest, at least, that Chateau-Thierry was won by the Army, and no one else.

More articles about the Battle of Chateau Thierry can be read here.
