[1] The regiment was initially commanded by Colonel Nathan K. Averill, a veteran of the Cuban War and faculty member at West Point.

[1] Following the completion of this additional training, the regiment was moved up to the front in the Baccarat Sector, specifically the town of Badonviller.

These recruits represented a very different side of America compared to the New Yorkers who had originally staffed the regiment, the majority of whom were foreign born or of wildly different ancestry.

[2] Of the nearly 600 soldiers who originally composed the "Lost Battalion" roughly 400 were killed or wounded in the course of their ordeal and the remainder were severely weakened after days surviving on little to no food or water.

[5] Following the relief of the "Lost Battalion", the Regiment continued forward and, by 16 October, had pushed through the Argonne with the rest of the 77th Division and participated in securing towns on the Aire River.

[2] Following the conclusion of the war on 11 November 1918, the regiment continued training exercises in France until 19 April 1919, at which point they embarked for New York aboard the SS America.

Additionally, seventy-five members of the regiment were awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and a further two the Croix de Guerre.

The 308th Infantry Regiment was relieved from the 77th Division, withdrawn from the Organized Reserve, and allotted to the Army of the United States on 30 January 1942.
