This is a video of an author named James P. Gregory Jr. about what really happened on October 8, 1918 in the Argonne forest when Sgt. York and 16 other soldiers went to take a hill held by German soldiers. By the end of the battle 6 men would be killed and others wounded but Sgt. York would kill at least 20 German soldiers and capture 132 others. Sgt. York would be awarded the Medal of Honor and rise to fame but is this what really happened on that day.
