It was 106 years ago that the first American troops landed in Port Saint-Nazaire, France, to aid allies in their fight against Germany. The "Doughboys," as they were known to their British counterparts, were undertrained and under-equipped but ready to fight. By the time the war ended in November 1918, two million American servicemen were in France and more than 100,000 had lost their lives in battle.
