Only one I have in my collection.

 

Tag attached reads , "German eagle picked up by Ed Nairy [?] at Château-Thierry, Presented to me May 17, 1940"

 


The Battle of Château-Thierry was fought on July 18, 1918 and was one of the first actions of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) under General John J. "Black Jack" Pershing. It was a battle in World War I as part of the Second Battle of the Marne, initially prompted by a German offensive launched on 15 July against the AEF, the newest troops on the front.
