Okay, the Battle of Belleau Woods is historically significant to Marine Lore.
After the battle:
United States forces suffered 9,777 casualties, included 1,811 killed.1 Many are buried in the nearby Aisne-Marne American Cemetery.
There is no clear information on the number of German soldiers killed, although 1,600 were taken prisoner.[10]
After the battle, the French renamed the wood "Bois de la Brigade de Marine" ("Wood of the Marine Brigade") in honor of the Marines' tenacity.
