He destroyed several German machine-gun nests and charged a German position with only a pistol.

York's actions were part of the Meuse-Argonne offensive, but he was not an African American. He was part of the 328th Infantry Regiment, 82nd Infantry Division. The attack led by York took out 35 German machine guns and captured over 100 German soldiers (as well as killing about two dozen).
