Belleau Wood is located on the high ground to the rear
of the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery and Memorial south of the village
of Belleau (Aisne), France. It contains many of the vestiges of World War I.
In the center of the road leading through the woods is a flagpole and a monument
commemorating the valor of the United States Marines who captured this area in 1918.
The Marine Monument
There is an outdoor display of some of the artillery pieces used by the Marines.
The outline of the trenches dug in 1918 is still visible.
