Going way O/T here but the original 'Lost Battalion' was from the 77th 'Liberty' Divn who went into the Argonne Forest during October 1918, almost at the end of WW1. Totally surrounded for six days, 200 men came out ( of the 600 who went in ).3 Congressional Medals of Honour were awarded ( the Commander, I beleive, committed suicide in the early 1920's ). Quite a story.
OK, back to WW2 !
