The Hey, folks, welcome to the battles of the First World War podcast.

So returning to the podcast today are two good friends.

And I kind of use that loosely with one person, James, and fellow World War I historians.

Just kidding. Just kidding.

First up, so first up on the podcast today are Jamesorian, awesome guy, now director of the LSU Military Museum at Louisiana State University.

Congratulations.

And then we have Steve Gerard, a U.S. Army veteran and veteran battlefield guide.

James is also a University of Oklahoma Ph.D.

candidate. Is that correct? Okay. Cool. All right. As well as already the author of several books,

the most recent being unraveling the myth of Sergeant Alvin York, the other 16.

Steve has studied the American Expeditionary Force for several decades, and I know I've said

it before folks, but I'm going to say it again, decades, okay?

He's been the unit historian of the U.S. Army 2nd and 4th Infantry Divisions, the 10th Mountain Division,

101st Airborne Division, the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, and the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments.

Steve has also served as a special historical consultant, World War I, to the History Division

for the Marine Corps out in Quantico, Virginia.

Steve has also worked as a historian and researcher for World War I, Fourth Brigade, Marine Second Division,

for various military historians and authors like Mr. George B. Clark, Mr. Kevin Seldon, James Gregory, Lieutenant Colonel's Pete Owen,

and John Swift, both retired. Lieutenant Colonel Waltz Ford, Marine Corps, retired, and Mr. Mike Miller.

So, gentlemen, welcome back to the podcast.
