America's WWI Sites: You Won't Want To Miss These!

At Battle Guide Virtual Tours we pride ourselves on our vast experience of visiting and exploring battlefields across the globe and we just love sharing these experiences to those who are unable to personally visit the sites, or, for others to use as a taster of what these sites contain prior to their own travels.

We have put together our Top 5 Must See American WW1 Sites and are excited to share with you some of the hidden gems we have come across in the course of our work.

We hope you enjoy this video and please do let us know what sites you think should have made it into this Top 5.

My Grand Father fought at Bellicourt Tunnel with the Old Hickory 30th Infantry. He brought back his helmet which I now have in safe keeping.

This is very moving. Thank you from the US for helping us learn our own history.

Proud to have visited all 5 sites. Awesome and so moving at the same time. Great work Battle Guides. Cantigny is also interesting as well as sites associated with Sgt Alvin York and also the Lost Battalion.

Another thing to add to my bucket list! From the US, thanks for sharing this!

Awesome! My grandfather, part of the 3rd m.g. bttn, was wounded at Cantigny May 29, 1918. One day we hope to visit the places you suggested and Cantigny as well.

This was fantastic I thoroughly enjoyed it

Excellent and moving video, especially the last site of the cemetery of thousands and thousands of (mostly) young men, who died because of the stupidity and greed of rulers seeking to aggrandize themselves. So utterly tragic and futile.

Nice, both of my grandparents were in the 79th Inf division, and at Monfaucon. Great to visit 👍

[adamp]

The 234 steps at montfaucon are no joke but the view from the top is amazing!

My grandfather was fighting in the are he was mustard gassed the day before that famous photograph by the bridge he had a weeping scar the size of a tennis ballon his forehead for all his life up till his death in 1984

I really enjoyed the Saint Mihiel area as well. My favorite cemetery was probably the one there in Thiaucourt.

Awesome and very informative video. Why does the youtube algorithm gods bury such admirable efforts...

[mjinnh]

Great tribute to the men and the ABMC's amazing work. My great uncle was a Marine at BW. Another beauty is the Blanc Mont monument at Somme Py and Navarin Farm.

Great video! I want to visit Europe again and I would like to visit the sites you mentioned. I also need to check out your website.

Incredible and humbling for those that gave the ultimate sacrifice

[GioTummy]

Seeing all those white crosses is really humbling. God bless the fallen.

No Hamel? Suppose that’s because two thirds of the Americans did a runner just before going over the top, rather than being a part of the first successful combined arms victory of WWI.
Pershing later accepted battle honours from the French for the victory and shunned the Australians who were in command of the Americans, what a lying coward he was.

What do you mean incorrectly the source of Marines being called Devil Dogs? Can you tell me what the correct source is then? Because that is what I was taught in Marine Corps boot camp about Marine Corps history.
