Alvin Cullum York  

Définition

  • World War I Hero In the last days of World War I, Alvin C. York came marching out of the Argonne Forest with 132 German prisoners and a remarkable story of individual daring. One of the least likely combat heroes in American history, the Tennessee-born York initially sought conscientious objector status based on his membership in the Church of Christ in Christian Union—a small, pacifist denomination founded in Ohio during the Civil War.
