The Battle of Seicheprey was a military engagement fought from 20 to 21 April 1918 as a part of the German spring offensive in north-eastern France during the First World War. Three German battalions of Sturmtruppen units commenced an attack on Allied positions in the village of Seicheprey, defended by American troops of the 26th Infantry Division, and after fierce fighting captured the village. Later that day Americans started a counterattack and the Germans withdrew. The clash is commemorated as the first significant war action of American expeditionary troops in Europe.
