Among them was the 2nd Division with the 23d Infantry. The Regiment made a spectacular sweep, marching and fighting for three days and nights, undergoing untold hardships. The results were astounding. The German lines were penetrated to a 5 mile depth and thousands of prisoners were captured. This drive started the German retreat, which ended in the signing of the Armistice."
