It began on October 2, 1918, when the men of the U.S. Army's 77th Division, 308th Battalion were surrounded by German troops in the Argonne Forest. Without food, water or reserve ammunition, cut off from supply and communication lines, and subjected to constant assaults and bombardments, they managed to hold off the enemy until they were finally rescued after five days of desperate action.
The Lost Battalion is pretty good. wasn't made on the scale of Saving Private Ryan and it's aired on the History Channel, but I think it's very good
WWI was brutal. Let me recommend the movie The Lost Battalion. I checked to see if you could stream it on Amazon Prime, but you can't. You can pick up the DVD for $6.99: https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Battalion-Rick-Schroder/dp/B00005U8F4/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=the+lost+battalion+movie&qid=1558793394&s=gateway&sr=8-3. It was originally a movie made for television, but it tells a great story about Major Charles Whittlesey. He is both heroic and ultimately tragic. The movie was praised for its historic accuracy. If you get a chance to watch it, I think you would really like it. It is a story in history that needs to be told again and again.
