For those who speak English as a second language, the wordplay above is a perfect example of why "anglophonics" can be so difficult to master.
In remembrance of the ninetieth anniversary of the Battle of Cantigny, I had hoped to post something acknowledging the initial engagement of the U.S. 1st Division and the part it played in wresting the initiative from the German Ludendorff Offensive.
Unfortunately, I have nothing representing the "Big Red One."
What I can share is an aide-mémoire of the role played by the AEF, after the armistice, in Siberia (the first "Cold War").

This private purchase M1917 Coat of an Ordnance Master features the 2nd type Siberian patch. The four overseas stripes on the left cuff indicate twenty-four months service "Over There."
