On this date in 1918, the first phase of the Battle of Amiens
ended in World War I France. The battle was considered a turning point for the
allied forces on the Western Front. This week's photo, above, honors World War I
hero Calvin Lee of Trenton, Ill. Calvin was laid to rest in the Trenton
Cemetery, where a striking, nearly life-size statue of a World War I soldier
stands guard over Calvin's final resting place. Calvin was killed while serving
with Company B, 333rd Infantry.
