Corporal Benjamin Blayton served “Over There,” fighting during World War I.
Blayton was a member of the famed Buffalo Soldiers—the 92nd Division. While prejudices of the era prevented most African American units from participating in combat with the American or British, the 92nd served in combat with the French Army, whose soldiers did not object to fighting alongside African Americans.
Blayton’s division saw combat during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, a battle which continued through the morning of November 11, 1918—the final day of fighting. Blayton survived the battle and was awarded the World War I Victory Medal with Meuse-Argonne and Defensive Sector battle clasps.
Blayton told his children about his wartime experiences, both the good—eating in French restaurants and learning to speak French fluently—and the bad—enduring the trenches and watching friends die in battle. Today we remember him and the four million Americans who served in World War I.
