Lost Battalion: In the closing days of World War I, the men of the U.S. Army's 77th Division, 308th Battalion were surrounded by German troups in the Argonne Forest. Without food, water or reserve ammunition, cut off from supply and communication lines, and subjected to constant assaults and bombardments, they managed to hold off the enemy until they were finally rescued after five days of desperate action.

Dear Home: Letters from World War I: American fought in World War I for just over 9 months, yet close to 120,000 Americans died, leaving a country forever changed. Learn what it was like in the trenches, hospitals, and front lines from the soldiers, nurses, ambulance drivers, and postal clerks who were, as they wrote in their letters home, "Somewhere in France." Haunting and moving, this program brings "The Great War" to life through the words of Americans who lived it.
