Re: My Grandfather
This reminds me of the WW1 Battle of Belleau Wood where a combined force of US Army and Marines won the battle and the Germans figured it was only the Marines that did them in. The Marines got all the press and gained the title of the "Devil Dogs" from the Germans. In fact both the Army and Marines deserved the credit. This has caused a bit of contention between the Army and Marines ever since.
