The Memorial Committee working with the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC)manages the care and maintenance of these monuments. The Manheulles Monument is in memory of the soldiers of the 4th Division who made the supreme sacrifice while eliminating the St. Mihiel Salient from September 12 to September 16,1918. It is located on the north side of the rue du General Marguerite (D-903),where it intersects with the D-904, on the eastside of Manheulles, Lorraine, France. Thanks to the Carolinas Chapter who funded this project, and to the many generous donors who support the Memorial Committee.
