USMS | The United States Marine Corps . #12824179
Description
During World War I, Marines served as a part of the American Expeditionary Force under General John J. Pershing when America entered into the war on April 6th 1917 The Marine Corps had a deep pool of officers and non-commissioned officers with battle experience and thus experienced a large expansion. The U.S. Marine Corps entered the war with 511 officers and 13,214 enlisted personnel, by the end of the conflict the U.S. Marine Corps had reached a strength of 2,400 officers and 70,000 enlisted. During the Battle of Belleau in 1918, the Marines and U.S. media reported that Germans had nicknamed them Teufel Hunden, meaning "Devil Dogs" for their reputation as shock troops and marksmen at ranges up to 900 meters; there is no evidence of this in German records (as Teufelshunde would be the proper German phrase). Nevertheless, the name stuck in U.S. Marine lore.
