The Centenary of World War One has come and gone. A few books published, but mostly, no special remembrances occurred that garnered much attention here in the U.S. compared to Europe.

McAlexander, nicknamed “Rock of the Marne” for his leadership in one of the earliest battles American forces did fight.
