Description

The "Black Devils" would earn their nickname from the German troops they fought during the challenging and often close quarters fighting in the Argonne Forest of the First World War.

The Black Devils of the US 370th Infantry Regiment were activated for federal service in July 1917 as a segregated unit for African-Americans. Raised primarily from men drawn from the Illinois National Guard's 8th Infantry Regiment, and volunteers throughout the state of Illinois. The regiment was both manned and officered by African-Americans, the only American unit with this unique distinction. It was seconded to various French divisions upon arriving in France in 1918, and fought on various sectors under the command of legendary Lieutenant Colonel Otis Beverly Duncan. Duncan, a pre-war professional soldier, was the only African-American regimental commander of the First World War and the highest ranking African-American in the entirety of the American Expeditionary Forces.

Produced in a 2 x 2" size with hook velcro backing.
