In a follow on film to our recent episode about the Battlefields of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in September 1918, we explore the American Cemetery at Romagne and ask are the American dead from the Great War forgotten? This is the largest US War Cemetery in Europe with over 14,000 graves, and despite the size and scale of cemeteries like these, are these men among the ‘forgotten dead’ more than a century after the Great War?

  2. Great to see this film, Paul. Only last night I re-listened to the Old Front Line podcast on the Meuse-Argonne.

  3. Very interesting, thank you. The sheer number of burials is overwhelming. You seem to be the only visitor there, sadly. Also worth noting is that a number of Americans (I haven’t seen any definitive figure) served in the British Army during WW1, some enlisting in Liverpool straight off the ship.
