About this listen

In darkest hours of World War I, more than 500 American troops were surrounded by the Germans in the Argonne Forest in France. They were facing furious fire - and were subject to artillery fire from their own forces. The American commander would need a hero to get word to his comrades to stop the shelling - and get his troops rescued. And a hero would step up. Or should we say - fly up. This is the story of Cher Ami - the pigeon who saved the Lost Battalion. Sponsor Go to factormeals.com/dispatchespod50off to get 50 percent off and free breakfast for a year.
