The Doughboys

Av loren adams - 27 februari 2014 07:33

The first American troops, who were often called "Doughboys", landed in Europe in June 1917. However they did not participate at the front until late October 1917, when the Ist Division, a formation of experienced regular soldiers and the first division to arrive in France, entered the trenches near Nancy.

The phrase "going over the top"; OTT, came into usage during World War I Iand referenced attacking infantry rising out of their own trenches to assault the enemy. When the whistle blew and in order to attack opposing trench lines, infantry were required to climb over the parapet of their trenches and cross No Man´s Land""." As World War I offensives generally sustained heavy losses, "going over the top" was an unpopular activity for soldiers.
