Descriptionof Welcome! - French Village Man Greeting U.S. Infantryman Doughboy, 1918
Manufacturer

The Great War marked the first time in history the United States sent soldiers abroad to defend foreign soil. The French ecstatically welcomed the first wave of soldiers. Vive lAme?rique! came the shouts at the edge of a Boulogne pier as Pershing steamed into port. In an emotional arrival ceremony at the Marquis de Lafayettes tomb, Col. Charles E. Stanton declared to the crowd, Lafayette, we are here! suggesting Americans had come to repay an old debt to the French dating back to when the colonies stood virtually alone in the American Revolution. The war weary French civilians were curious to meet Uncle Sams soldiers greeting them as they marched through the villages toward the front. This set is based on a famous U.S. Army Signal Corps photograph of an old French couple welcoming a couple of Doughboys in their village in 1918.
