U.S. Army National Guard Soldiers from the 42nd Division’s Company H, 167th Infantry in hasty fighting positions near Rheims in early July 1918. Just two weeks after its defensive actions at Champagne from July 14-16, the division initiated offensive operations in late July 1918 as part of the Aisne Marne attacks near Chateau Thierry, France. The 42nd Division seized Croix Rouge Farm and crossed Ourcq River July 29th, aided by two battalions from the 4th Division. They captured Sergy, Meurcy Farm and Seringes-et-Nesles, advancing on the 30th to Foret de Nesles and beyond Sergy.
