St.-Mihiel

From St. Mihiel the line crosses the river to the right bank, and then proceeds eastwards to the river Moselle.

Their object was to squeeze in its sides so as to capture the railways and force the enemy to withdraw from St. Mihiel.

The value of the St. Mihiel operation to our army was considerable.

It was the final assault against the last of the German defenses in St. Mihiel.

In our own national history, therefore, as in world history, the Battle of St. Mihiel will have an enduring place.
