Lost Battalion of WW1

USA's 77th Division was nicknamed the "Lost Battalion" during World War 1 after they launched an attack in the Argonne forest under the idea that they were being supported by the French on the left and more US soldiers on the right. Ally support was stalled and they pushed their attack so far that they were cut off. They held their ground for six days; were surrounded by Germans, shelled by their own artillery, and therefore ran low on rations and ammunition. Only 194 out of approximately 544 men were successfully rescued.
