[Stephen Nulty]

This forty-two acre cemetery, with its headstones lying in a sweeping curve, sits at the foot of the hill where stands Belleau Wood. It contains the graves of 2,290 American Dead, most of whom fought in the vicinity and in the Marne valley in the summer of 1918. From the hillside rises the memorial chapel decorated with sculptured and stained glass details of wartime personnel, equipment and insignia. On its interior walls are inscribed the names of 1,060 who gave their lives in the service of their country and who are resting in unknown graves. The observation platform in the chapel tower affords excellent views of the battlefield. During World War II, the chapel was damaged slightly by an enemy shell.

From the 42nd's Summary of Operations:

The 42nd relieved the 26th Division I Corps southeast of Beauvardes on July 25. On July 27th the 166th attacked with the entire division at 9:30 AM. The 166th was delayed as it had to pass through the French 164th Infantry.

It was at roughly 10 AM the retirement of the enemy was discovered and the pursuit was taken up by the 167th and 168th Infantry.

The 166th was heavily involved in the fighting for Mareuil-en-Dole on August 2nd.

I have more general inofrmation from the 42nd's history, just don't have time to post it, sorry.
