In the tradition of the Union Army's heroic assaults on Confederate entrenchments during the closing battles of the Civil War, the doughboys hurled themselves at the center of a desperate but still powerful army. At a frightful cost, they broke the enemy and, just as their Union forebears had done, helped bring a terrible war to a close. The regiment suffered more killed that day than any other regiment in American history. Interweaving extracts from letters, diaries, and previously published accounts, Duty, Honor, Privilege follows the patrician 7th New York Infantry Regiment from the spring of 1917 when war was declared, through its merger with the plebian 1st Regiment from upstate New York to form the 107th, to training with the British in France, and to the heroic attack on the Hindenburg Line. Finally, we witness their welcome-home parade, still believed to be the biggest parade in New York City history.". Seller Inventory # 17650
