Belleau Cemetery. 1918, the height of the first world war and German forces have pushed far into France, coming dangerously close to the French capital. The Battle of Belleau Wood occurred near the Marne River between June 1st and June 26th. The battle was fought between a mainly US Allied force and a hodgepodge of German units. The battle is remembered because of both its extremely bloody nature and its close proximity to Paris.
