Historical Significance
The Battle of Château-Thierry (May-June 1918) marked a turning point in World War I. As German forces pushed within 50 miles of Paris in their final offensive, the U.S. Marine Corps—attached to the French 6th Army—halted the advance through fierce combat. The Marines’ decisive action became a symbol of American bravery and resolve, immortalized in recruitment posters like Treidler’s. This “notch” referred to the Marines’ successful kills and captured positions—each victory ticking upward.
