- Synopsis
- During the Great War, 404,348 African-Americans served in the army and navy. More than 200,000 African-American enlisted men and officers served in France. While the author of this novel has chosen to focus on the 93rd Division, specifically the 372nd Infantry Regiment, it should be noted that there were numerous Negro units, including the 92nd Division, that served with distinction during World War I. Distinctive combat service of the 92nd and 93rd divisions included their playing major roles in the battles of the Meuse-Argonne, the Champagne offensive, Château Thierry, the Vosges, Metz, and Alsace-Lorraine. On November 11, 1918, the day the armistice was signed, African-American troops of the 92nd Division were the soldiers closest to the Rhine, the river separating Germany from France. The people of France called these African-American soldiers ... the "Sable Doughboys."
