AISNE-MARNE: the names of two rivers of northeastern France in the region of which some of the bitterest fighting of the war occurred. It was in the second great battle in this sector that American troops first took part, June 4, 1918. They distinguished themselves both on the defen- sive and in counter attacks. At Chateau-Thierry especially the Americans checked frequent assaults of the enemy with heavy losses. (See Chateau-Thierry). The Aisne-Marne region was finally cleared of the Germans in the great Allied Offensive of October, 1918, when the Americans again rendered conspicuous service.
