    ST. MIHIEL OFFENSIVE in France
    Source: Rickard, J (10 Aug 2007), Battle of Saint Mihiel, 12-13 Sep 1918,
    http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/battles_st_mihiel.html

    "The battle of St. Mihiel saw the first major independent American offensive of the First World War." The objective: Eliminate a salient
    (bulge) in the German lines near the town of St. Mihiel. In the face of the American build-up, the Germans had decided to abandon the position.
    The German withdrawal began on 11 Sep. On the following morning, the First American Army attacked under the command of Gen. John Pershing.
    "The Germans were caught by surprise. Outnumbered and slightly out of position, the German position collapsed. In 36 hours the Americans took over 13,000 prisoners and captured 466 guns. The Germans lost 5,000 killed
    and wounded, while the Americans suffered 7,000 casualties."

    MEUSE-ARGONNE OFFENSIVE

    http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/battles_meuse_argonne.html

    "The Meuse-Argonne offensive ... was the southern part of the great triple offensive that broke the German lines on the Western Front. It was also the biggest battle fought by the American Expeditionary Force during the war."
    The battle ended with the armistice at 1100 hours on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.
    "The Meuse-Argonne offensive cost the Americans 117,000 casualties, the French 70,000 and the Germans 100,000. The American casualties
    represented 40% of their total battlefield loses during the war. Amongst those loses were 48,909 dead. In a dreadful irony, the Spanish Influenza
    would eventually kill 53,000 American soldiers before the end of the war."

    Notes:

    Died:
    Letitia may have died 18Mar1877. There is a note in Lillian Staley's records, stating, "Mother died March 18th 1877" this could have been written by Esther Mitchell, Letitia's daugher. I have no offical record of death for her otherwise, Sanford Genealogy states the 1869 date.
