    This has the photo listed as day 10 of the battle. June 10, 1918. caption seems reasonable given the type of weapon in the previous post. no bibliography thought to validate. Steve's article cites NARA for the source, but my initial search of online records at the national archives didn't find it. I'll try more this weekend.

    Bingo!
    Chapter 14, pg. 93 of American Battle Monuments Commission, downloadable here https://www.abmc.gov/education/teach...thousand-words has the caption
    "U.S. 23rd Infantry, Franceicon, 1918. This photograph was taken during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, perhaps the most important offensive for the U.S. troops and the outcome of World War I (Andrews 2014)."
    The reference points to a history.com article here https://www.history.com/news/6-american-heroes-of-wwi, which mentions nothing that is in the caption, so I'm not buying it.

    no mention of 5th Marines.
