The Battle of Blanc Mont Ridge (3 October to 27 October 1918) occurred during World War I, northeast of Reims, in Champagne, France. The US Army's 2nd Infantry Division and the 36th Infantry Division opposed the Imperial German Army's 200th and 213th divisions, along with portions of six additional German divisions.[1] The result of this battle was the expulsion of the Imperial German Army from the Champagne Region.
