    Unfortunately after the signing of the Armistice several American commanders took it upon themselves to do several last minute "offensives" to gain some last minute glory at the cost of several thousand lives, one being the seizure of a Frenchicon town because they had better shower facilities. Even after the war General Pershing was question by Congress as to why these "offensives" were permitted given that after the armistice went into effect they simply could occupy the "showers" without the cost of American lives. What a waste.
