The Opposing Forces
(See map below.)
Lieutenant-General Fuchs, Commander of the German forces in the salient, had eight divisions in the line and five divisions of reserves.
These divisions formed part of the forces of General von Gallwitz, commanding the army group, and it was he who really opposed the Americans.
On this front General Pershing had four army corps disposed as follows:—
The 1st Corps, comprising the 82nd, 90th, 5th and 2nd Divisions, commanded by Major-General Hunter Liggett, operated from Clémery, east of the Moselle, to Limey.
The 4th Corps, consisting of the 89th, 42nd and 1st Divisions, commanded by Major-General Joseph T. Dickman, operated from Limey to Xivray.
