Lost Battalion

The remarkable true story of the U.S. Army's 77th Division in the final days of World War I, when over 500 men found themselves cut off and surrounded by German forces in the Argonne Forest but managed--despite heavy losses--to hold on, is recounted in this unique silent war movie. Many of the surviving soldiers and officers who took part in the bitter six-day siege play themselves in dramatic re-enactments which are featured along with actual Army Signal Corps footage. 66 min. Standard; Soundtrack: music score. Silent with music score.
