The 165th Infantry, the Army’s famous “Fighting 69th” Irish regiment, part of the 42nd Infantry “Rainbow” Division, spent March 1918 under French command to gain combat experience in trench warfare of the Western Front. While serving in the woods of Rouge Bouquet, the regiment lost 21 Soldiers killed in an artillery barrage that collapsed a similar dugout on March 7, 1918.
