The bloodiest battle in U.S. military history unfolded during 47 days in 1918. 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.

Testimonials
"It was very well done and informative but also personalized a local man's war story and showed the impact on his family. One part I particularly appreciated was the inclusion of the impact on Germany and German soldiers as well. A great combination!"
Marsha Markas
"This series is a very thoughtful, and in depth look at not just one man's service in the first world war, but also the wars impacts on people from many nations on both sides of the conflict."

"Loving sharing this with my mom, Leslie Savage. Her dad, Lawrence Burridge, was in the Prairie Division in World War I. Mom is learning so much about her dad’s experience, and watching the documentary brings back memories for her of stories her dad shared about the war. Mom is 93, and it’s terrific to see her so engaged. Very grateful to be able to share this with her."
