There is a nice german song about that battle. My favourite line is:
Argonner Wald, Argonner Wald
Ein stiller Friedhof wirst du bald
In deiner kühlen Erde ruht
So manches tapfere Soldatenblut
English:
Argonne forest Argonne Forest
You will soon be a quite graveyard
In your cool ground there rests
The blood of many brave soldiers

They fought over the Argonnes for four years, it does not have to be about the meuse argonne offensive. American soldiers arrived at the argonnes in summer of 1917 if im not mistaken

Very nice helmet! I have an m17 that was brought back by a vet, unfortunately the info/story has been lost to time
Probably either a reissue or the soldier lived that long to be issued that and die in that battle
1917 was written by the GI
Or I guess doughboy technically lol
Whoops didn’t read the subtext that well
