Today we began our study of the Battle of Meuse Argonne. We began at the Butte de Vauquois, studied the story of the Lost Battalion, and followed in the footsteps of Corporal (later Sergeant) Alvin York.

Dan also made a 'human map' by arranging guests to represent US divisions (and the forest itself!!) at the battle in a particular highlight. Meanwhile, Spencer tried Andouillette (French tripe sausage - considered an acquired taste even in France) at dinner and declared it 'not bad' but will probably never order it again...!
