In this National Guard historic painting by H. Charles McBarron, Soldiers of the 369th Infantry Regiment, the Harlem Hellfighters, go into action near Sechault, France, on September 29, 1918 during the Meuse-Argonne offensive. Originally the 15th New York from Harlem, the center of African-American culture in the early 20th Century, the unit earned the nickname Hellfighters from its German enemies. While the nickname has been used for more than 100 years -- currently by the 369th Sustainment Brigade --it was only officially recognized by the Army in September 2020.
