The 67th Regiment was part of the 34th Division, 5th Army.

1914 - Meuse

1915 - Argonne, 34th Div. lost 56 Officers and 2723 men in heavy fighting.

By the end of the war there were only 1000 men in the Div. It was considered one of the best 2nd class Divisions. The 34th was an assault Div. always on the attack.
