Marc Huehn, A Forgotten War Hero
A World War I hero, Marc Huehn was born on February 22, 1896. He was orphaned at the age of 10 and was introduced to a life of privilege in his uncle’s estate in Chenago, Texas. Huehn later left Texas and enlisted in the West Point Academy to pursue a career in the military.
Not wanting in bravado, Marc Huehn easily earned the respect of the other cadets and excelled in military drills. The case is different though when it came to academics. He found the Academy’s curriculum totally unnecessary, thus he did not bother to focus on his French and numbers. As a result, Huehn graduated in 1916, one year before the United States entered the First World War, at the bottom of his class.
Marc Huehn served in the 1st Infantry Division (the “Big Red One”) under the command of famous field commander, Robert Lee Bullard, an Alabama-born West Point graduate. Along with 3500 plus troops, Huehn fought in the Battle of Cantigny which led to the capture of the village of Cantigny from the German Eighteenth Army. This was considered a milestone in America’s war effort because it led to the expansion of the American front and was considered the first American offensive of the World War I. For the next three days, 1, 133 American soldiers died due to continuous assault from the German camp. Marc Huehn was among the casualties who died during the second day of the battle.
