Question

What was the nickname of the American 369th Regiment?

Answer 1

The nickname for the American 369th infantry regiment was "The Harlem Hellfighters." They were the most well-known group of African American soldiers during World War I.

Explanation:

So, you might be wondering how the 369th infantry regiment got their nickname:

The part "Harlem" comes from the city where this infantry was first organized-- Harlem, New York.

The part "Hellfighters" comes from persistence. During a six-month combat, they lost about 1,500 casualties, but they only received 900 replacements. Despite this, they persisted in combat and therefore earned the title "Hellfighters" from their enemies.

Hope this helps!
