In October 1918, just weeks before the end of the First World War, one of the most incredible feats of military valor took place in the Meuse–Argonne offensive, one of the last great battles of the war.
This incredible feat of bravery and soldiering was done by a very unlikely soldier. One that didn’t even want to participate in the war on religious grounds.
His story has been the subject of books and movies and is still being told today.
Learn more about Sergeant Alvin York and his remarkable story on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
