Marine Time Machine: Belleau Wood

Thank you for sharing my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell the "Time Machine" focused on the last Ardennes campaign as the marine units from the AEF launched an attack at Belleau Wood.
The USMC has always done a good job of recording and sharing history of heroism among their ranks.

My paternal grandfather fought at Gallipoli, Turkey in 1915 as a British Army lance corporal and then in France and Belgium from 1916 to 1918. He was wounded but never talked about his service. The British tended to have a stiff upper lip :-)
His brother George Ernest Ford also served with him. George and his wife were killed at their home in Surrey [south England] in 1944 when a bomb hit their home. Their two youngest children were still at home and survived [one was under the sturdy kitchen table and the other in a closet. They like all children in England were taught how to prepare for bombing [My dad was taught similarly in London. My mother was evacuated with her sisters out of London.]
Since the enlisted records were all located in a defence ministry building that was largely destroyed in the Battle of Britain the records of my paternal grandfather and his brother appear to be lost.
