America's WWI Sites: You Won't Want To Miss These!
At Battle Guide Virtual Tours we pride ourselves on our vast experience of visiting and exploring battlefields across the globe and we just love sharing these experiences to those who are unable to personally visit the sites, or, for others to use as a taster of what these sites contain prior to their own travels.
We have put together our Top 5 Must See American WW1 Sites and are excited to share with you some of the hidden gems we have come across in the course of our work.
We hope you enjoy this video and please do let us know what sites you think should have made it into this Top 5.

My Grand Father fought at Bellicourt Tunnel with the Old Hickory 30th Infantry. He brought back his helmet which I now have in safe keeping.
This is very moving. Thank you from the US for helping us learn our own history.
Proud to have visited all 5 sites. Awesome and so moving at the same time. Great work Battle Guides. Cantigny is also interesting as well as sites associated with Sgt Alvin York and also the Lost Battalion.
Another thing to add to my bucket list! From the US, thanks for sharing this!
Excellent and moving video, especially the last site of the cemetery of thousands and thousands of (mostly) young men, who died because of the stupidity and greed of rulers seeking to aggrandize themselves. So utterly tragic and futile.
The 234 steps at montfaucon are no joke but the view from the top is amazing!
Awesome! My grandfather, part of the 3rd m.g. bttn, was wounded at Cantigny May 29, 1918. One day we hope to visit the places you suggested and Cantigny as well.

The photo is of the 137th Brigade. No idea what it’s doing in an American battlefield history.
I hadn't heard of most of these locales, and do hope to visit them one day!
Nice, both of my grandparents were in the 79th Inf division, and at Monfaucon. Great to visit 👍
This was fantastic I thoroughly enjoyed it

Thank you.
I really enjoyed the Saint Mihiel area as well. My favorite cemetery was probably the one there in Thiaucourt.

Great choice!
Great tribute to the men and the ABMC's amazing work. My great uncle was a Marine at BW. Another beauty is the Blanc Mont monument at Somme Py and Navarin Farm.
Awesome and very informative video. Why does the youtube algorithm gods bury such admirable efforts...

Thank you very much!
Seeing all those white crosses is really humbling. God bless the fallen.
What do you mean incorrectly the source of Marines being called Devil Dogs? Can you tell me what the correct source is then? Because that is what I was taught in Marine Corps boot camp about Marine Corps history.
Nothing for Hamel?

Not this time, reltatively little US involvement and we felt the others were better visits.
No Hamel? Suppose that’s because two thirds of the Americans did a runner just before going over the top, rather than being a part of the first successful combined arms victory of WWI. Pershing later accepted battle honours from the French for the victory and shunned the Australians who were in command of the Americans, what a lying coward he was.
More maps
Just curious but are there monuments and graves for the German soldiers?

As an American, don't expect us to do it again. We've given enough.
When the French hear about the 100k losses of the Americans 😂😂😂 come back when you REALLY suffered.
Amazing. Can't believe you don't have more likes. It's an insult and disgrace.
There were not 50 states in the period of WW1.

True. I'm nearly sure both Alaska and Hawaii had troops in the service though.
