Two US Divisions participated in the Battle of Soissons, July, 1918. The 1st Division (Big Red One)included two infantry brigades with the 16th, 18th, 26th and 28th Infantry. The 2d Division included an Army infantry brigade with the 9th and 23d Infantry Regiments and the Marine Brigade with the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments.

Like most battle where the USMC participated, Army units were seldom mentioned. The press and the Marines have always had a good relationship and the Marines knew what to do with that.
