Battle of the Terron

[2] The Czechoslovak infantry brigade, which numbered 6,000 men, outnumbered the German forces in the attack zone.

The 21st Infantry Regiment managed to occupy the village of Terron-sur-Aisne on 20 October and break through to the zone of German defense on the hills above the river.

The units deployed here fulfilled their task when they tied up the reserves that the Germans lacked during the attack of the American troops.

The performance of the Czechoslovak soldiers was highly rated and was also highlighted by the commander of the 4th French Army, General Goutaud.

The fighting in the Vouziers–Chestres–Terron triangle equaled the Battle of Zborov in terms of ferocity, commitment and casualties, even if it remained in its shadow.
