The American intervention in 1917 was a huge relief for France at the time it suffered the Chemin des Dames disaster (defeat) and the collapse of the Russian front.  On September 3, 1918, Marechal Foch orders a general offensive with the Meuse as an objective.  In the battle of Argonne, he engages General Pershing, Chief Commander of the American Forces, whose troops will push back the enemy all the way to Sedan.  On November 6, 1918, the First American Division attacks the German enemy lines from the Besace to Beaumont and pushes the enemy back to the right bank of the Meuse between Villemontry and Autrecourt.  During the night of the 6th to the 7th, they gain control of all of the left bank up to Wadelincourt.  The monument called 'this point' marks the final point of the American troops' advance.  On November 10th, Pershing pays a warm tribute to his troops.
