Marines of 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division had the opportunity to drink from the Devil Dog Fountain in the Chateau of Belleau, France, May 26. The Devil-Dog Fountain in Belleau, France has become a symbol of lore for the United States Marine Corps. When Marines took Belleau Wood in June 1918, they had only recently become known as the Teufelhunden, "devil dogs" by their enemy. It was shortly after the battle that the Marines entered the town of Belleau to be greeted by the fountain and the cold, clean natural water it produced. To this day, Marines travel to this place to visit and drink from the fountain. (Official Marine Corps photo by: Cpl. Daniel A. Wulz)
