The Story Of Sgt. York, The Man Who Killed Or Captured More Than 100 Germans In A Single WWI Battle

The Meuse-Argonne Offensive.

From Task and Purpose, by Staff Writer James Clark, 8 October 2018.

Here is the lede plus one:

On Oct. 8, 1918, while serving on the Western Front, Army Cpl. Alvin C. York led a charge against a German machine-gun position during World War I, which resulted in 20 enemy casualties attributed to York alone, and the capture of 132 German soldiers.

He did it with just seven men.

At this point the Armistice was just over a month away, on 11 November.
