The Keystone description above doesn’t quite match the facts. The AEF sustained about 320,000 casualties: 53,402 battle deaths, 63,114 noncombat deaths and 204,000 wounded. More than 25,000 men in the AEF died during the fall of 1918 in the influenza pandemic.
For more information, including some on the service of the African American men in the AEF, see this article.
