General March pointed out that the
Franco-American lines from the
Meuse to the Disc stood virtually par

divisions on the line, Gen
eral March identified the 18th

trict of Columbia); SOth virginia,

sey and Delaware); 77th (New York
City and vicinity; sgd (Michigan
and Wisconsin), and the 5Sth regi-

March named the 106th Infantry
and the 1O4th, 105th and 106th ma
chine gun battalions.
