More than 26,000 were killed and nearly 100,000 were wounded in an almost forgotten chapter of World War 1 that included Private Gustave Amm of the Illinois 33rd "Golden Cross" Division. 100 years later, his grandson Roger Amm embarks on a global journey of discovery to learn about the grandfather he barely knew, and those who served on both sides of the conflict. Kanestar Productions presents the award-winning, landmark, five-part documentary series "A Golden Cross to Bear: A Story of the 33rd Division in World War 1" produced in partnership with WTVP-TV, the PBS station serving Central Illinois, and the United States World War 1 Centennial Commission.

S1 E3 - The Fogs of War The remnants of trench warfare on the former battlefields of World War I in France yield clues for Roger Amm about what his grandfather Gustave Amm witnessed during the bloodiest battle in U.S. military history, and leads to an emotional moment at one of the most hauntingly beautiful locations dedicated to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. S1 E4 - In Foreign Fields Historian and battlefield guide Randy Gaulke retraces the path of the 131st Infantry Regiment for Roger Amm, and takes him on Gustave Amm's perilous march from the banks of the Meuse River in eastern France to the heights of the Bois Plat Chêne, among the many locations in France during the bloodiest battle in U.S. military history in October and November of 1918. S1 E5 - Home Fronts During his quest to learn more about the World War I combat experience of his grandfather, Gustave Amm, an American soldier of the 131st Infantry Regiment, Roger Amm also visits the Bavarian town of his ancestors, and makes a surprising discovery before returning to the United States to honor the sacrifice and service of all who served in the "war to end all wars" more than a century ago.
