The Lost Battalion is one of the best telemovies ever made. I remember watching it back in 2001 on TV and I was blown away by it, and it still holds up well even today. It captures the hell of WW1 and Meuse-Argonne Offensive masterfully. The events that occurred at the Meuse-Argonne Offensive showed the world that America was a force not to be reckoned with. Maj. Charles W. Whittlesey and his men were extraordinary brave individuals. Ricky Schroder did an excellent job as Maj. Charles W. Whittlesey, a great performance by him.

[@lasharshar5127]

Might be better if you wrote, "a force to be reckoned with" Ho Ho and then along came the viet cong. All nations when motivated are a force to be reckoned with. Interestingly if one looks at saigon and hanoi now it makes you realise that america may have lost the war but they won the peace.

The movie doesn't tell what happened to the Major later in his life. Major Whittlesey would survive the war and return to his civilian law practice, but he could never forget his ordeal or the men that he lost. He'd eventually take his own life as a result. I am filled to tears when I think about these men, all of them from every nation that fought during this war, because the world seems to have forgotten them. Sadly there are no more of them left for us to honor and thank for all that they had endured. May GOD bless those 'honored dead'.

[@theguy6082]

On an entirely different note: yes, this division helped the Americans break through the line, but the general is a fucking scumbag. If you treat your men like expendable pawns with and hold no value of human life, you don't deserve to be a general. You're just wasting resources and needlessly sacrificing human lives and he didn't do it in good faith, he knew there was no chance that the battalion would break through and the only reason he succeeded in the end was because he got lucky that the unit agreed on their own terms to do an impossible job that any other battalion would have failed to do. Any general that launches a suicide attack without good faith is a glory hog and also an incompetent prick that shows a complete lack of tactical/strategic knowledge and flexibility, similar to all generals throughout this particular war. If I lost half of my men and that asshole told me it was "acceptable losses", I'd punch him right in the face. I wouldn't give a fuck if I was court martialed.

In November 1921, Whittlesey acted as a pallbearer at the burial of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, along with fellow Medal of Honor recipients Samuel Woodfill and Alvin York. A few days later he booked passage from New York to Havana aboard the SS Toloa, a United Fruit Company ship. On November 26, 1921, the first night out of New York, he dined with the captain and left the smoking room at 11:15 p.m. stating he was retiring for the evening,[3] and it was noted by the captain that he was in good spirits. Whittlesey was never seen again. He was reported missing at 8:00 a.m. the following morning. He is presumed to have committed suicide by jumping overboard, although no one reported seeing him jump and Whittlesey's body was never recovered. Before leaving New York, he prepared a will leaving his property to his mother. He also left a series of letters in his cabin addressed to relatives and friends. The letters were addressed to his parents, his brothers Elisha and Melzar, his uncle Granville Whittlesey, and to his friends George McMurtry, J. Bayard Pruyn, Robert Forsyth Little and Herman Livingston, Jr.[1] Also in his cabin was found a note to the captain of the Toloa leaving instructions for the disposition of the baggage left in his stateroom.[1] He left the famous German letter asking for surrender to McMurtry.

I must say the comments on here are quite disturbing , people arguing over how many battle deaths eagle who contributed more to winning the war. And the fact that American contributions were very small compared to the other allies. Many people seem to forget that Though the United States did not enter until April 19 17 there were 35,000 Americans who serve in the Canadian expeditionary forces and many lay their lives down for what they believed in there’s a monument at Arlington national cemetery paid for by the Canadian government to commend these men. So no the United States did not technically Enter until that time but there were Americans in the war As early as 1915. Not to mention many who fought for France as well. And seeing as not a single person on here can know what it was like to fight in that war myself included it’s ridiculous to argue over what country gave more. I think of more people remember the fact that a single life lost in anymore in a matter what country they’re from they deserve to be respected and rememberd .

[@LuKaZz420]

Good film, I love it. My own ancestors fought in that war, in the Italian army, in trenches made of ice, up on the Alps against the Austro-Hungarians, we were on the side of France, Britain, the US, Canada, ANZAC, in that war. Seriously a lost generation, every country had such losses, for so little. At least in The Second World War you can rationalize it and say well it was against one of the most repulsive regimes (also us, in the beginning when we were under Mussolini, we were on the bad side) ever to appear on earth. True the Soviets weren't that much better, but the ideals of freedom over tyranny that the Allies had, sort of gives the war some meaning, also considering the atrocities the Japanese committed in China and the Pacific and the Germans in Eastern Europe. WWI on the other hand was a squabble between cousins, look at the monarchs, most were all grandchildren of Queen Victoria, sending their surplus population to die in horrific ways, while the high officers looked from a hill far away from danger with a cup of tea in their hands. Moving and removing arrows on a map, oh we lost this batallion, take it from the map, and put this other wooden piece. That wooden piece you just removed from the map were human lives, considered to be expendable, Generals playing Risk with real people. Bloody horrible.

ImTheWaffleman : The U.S. troops arrived In France In April 1918 knowing nothing of the type of war that Germans, British and French were leading In Europe since 4 years. The U. S. Troops had hardly Machines guns ...only rifles and bayonettes ! After 2 months of drill waiting for their late artillery the Marines were finally thrown early june 2018 In a desperate fight that the French were having In the sector of Bois Belleau and where they had Lost 50% of their troops. The Marines lost as many men as the French because of the many Germán machines guns they had to overcome with grenades and bayonettes and after 5 days of intense fights and terrible losses they finally managed to control the whole of Bois Belleau which is a little wood of hardly ...75 acres ! They lost over 1200 men for this tiny piece of land but they managed with heroism and a lot of bravery ! In remembrance of this exploits, one of the very first U.S aircraft carriers In W.W. ll was called " Bois Belleau" to honor these brave Marines. A grateful Frenchman is pleased to honor also their memories here, 99 years after ! God bless América !

Trench warfare is merely "open warfare" as you call linear/conventional warfare that pauses for a siege-like phase. Its been around for thousands of years.

The casualties sustained were horrific in this war, and the Americans got their taste as well. Total casualties were 320,000 (53,000 Battle Deaths, 63,000 Non-Combat Deaths, and 204,000 Wounded.) Keep in mind the French at this time had by far the longest front to cover and suffered 330,000 casualties. So those of you who are saying that our casualties were minor keep the time frame in mind and the amount of front covered and compare that to the casualties sustained, the Americans bloodied themselves disproportionately fighting a war that was started because of European monarchs' egos.

[@ShockLegionLeader]

+James Albert You realize that's a load of bullshit right? The Indian Army only numbered 1.2 million, so it's hard to believe their casualties were 5.5 million.

[@ShockLegionLeader]

+Jack Stratif And so is the concept I laid out in my comment. Or did you even read it? We took very similar casualties to the French in the same time frame while fighting on a much smaller front. Hence why our casualties were lopsided in terms of the scale of the fighting and front covered. And all those casualties for what? A new safer world? Looks to me the only thing that happened was the greed of the so-called "Good Guys" was satisfied.

I sincerely doubt that. After all, many of the officers were volunteers like Wittlesey, and they had been careerists in professions or working in some trade. The officer corp had to be greatly expanded before the American troops first saw action, and the only way to do that was to commission men who had not served even as privates before. I would have liked to see Wittlesey's name mentioned as a leader in the Labor Movement in the history books after his time on the Western Front. As Wittlesey states in this film, "We don't get to choose our duties and responsibilities..."

And he was personally wounded, a victim of gas. The soldiers in the bridge, Allied or Axis? I don't know, as my father is gone, so that fact is lost to time.

It's not to surrender or to die, but it was the task for the politicians to negotiate peace after the Verdun and Somme slauthers. That would have avoided the Bolshevists and Nazis - simply the second part of self destruction. The hero or patriotic poetry is nonsense in mechanised warfare. ALL THE INCREDIBLE COURAGE AND SUFFERING ON BOTH SIDES - FOR WHAT?
