The first units shipped off to France on March 27, 1918. Three months later, "New York’s Own” relieved the 42nd Division on the front lines and soon came under fire. On July 21, a 54-person patrol led by Capt. Blanton Barrett headed for enemy territory with the goal of capturing prisoners to obtain intelligence. The patrol was attacked by two enemy companies and though it successfully held them off, only 21 of the 54 men returned.
In September, the Germans fled their positions along the Vesle River, and the 77th Division advanced toward the Aisne River. The Battle of the Argonne Forest ensued for the next two months, in which time the 77th Division successfully advanced 22 kilometers; crossed the Aire River; captured the towns of Grand-Pre and St. Juvin; and established a new line north of these towns.
By the end of the war, 69 officers and 1,299 enlisted men had been killed in action. Another 198 men died of their wounds.
