Harlem Hellfighters
Members of the 369th Infantry Regiment (Harlem Hellfighters) posing with their awards for gallantry in combat.
After the 369th Infantry Regimentâknown as the Harlem Hellfightersâwas withdrawn from the Meuse-Argonne offensive following the capture of SĂ©chault, they were sent to the rear for rest.1
Following this brief period of recovery, the regiment returned to the front lines in the Vosges Mountains to continue participating in the Allied advance. After the armistice was signed on November 11, 1918, the unit transitioned to occupation duty, during which they became the first American unit to reach the Rhine.1
