This monument is built on the high ground that was held by the german army during the St. Mihiel Offensive, WW1. The germans had numerous artillery pieces on this ground. The 1st Division passed within 1000 yards under cover of a smoke screen. My great grandfather, 1st Lt. Rolla P. Umsted, was part of the 1st Division, 16th Infantry.
