Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus and the County’s Veterans Service Agency hosted a ceremony on Wednesday, Sept. 29 to honor the 40 County residents who died more than 100 years ago on the same day during World War I.
Orange County Government
The 40 Orange County residents served in Companies E and L of the 107th Regiment of the 27th Division and were killed in action during the Battle of the Hindenburg Line in Northern France.

“The Battle of the Hindenburg Line is one of the most famous engagements that occurred during World War I,” Neuhaus said. “We will never forget the sacrifices that these 40 soldiers made in defense of the freedoms we all enjoy every day in America and here in Orange County.”
OC Gov
After an intense, 56-hour-long attack, Allied forces breached the Hindenburg Line, the last line of German defenses, on Sept. 29, 1918. The Hindenburg Line was a heavily fortified zone running several miles behind the active front between the north coast of France and Belgium.
By September 1918, the Hindenburg Line consisted of six defensive lines approximately 6,000 yards deep, equipped with lengths of barbed wire, concrete emplacements and firing positions. Breaking through the Hindenburg Line helped the U.S. and its allies win World War I, which ended on November 11th, 1918.
War Ready
“September 29th, 1918 serves as one of the darkest days of our County’s history due the loss of so many soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice on the same day,” Orange County’s VSA Director Christian Farrell said. “Whether it’s more than a century ago, or just a few months ago, we will always remember our fallen heroes.”
