Who came up with the name Argonne Assault? Did I miss a contest?? :D:D

What's it mean?
 
The Argonne Assault was made by Busse a long time ago and is probably one of the most collectable and vauluable Busses ever (in its original form). Busse is putting it back into limited production for its anniversary series (with changes such as the INFI upgrade for example).

P.S. about the name's origin....I'm not sure. Perhaps referring to the Argonne region in France (heavily wooded) where much fighting went on in both WW1 and WW2. There was a movie recently (on A&E I believe) where a Battalion of British troops made a daring and suicidal assault on the Argonne (WW1). I believe the Germans advanced through the Argonne both in their initial assault on France (WW2), and during the Battle of the Bulge near the end. Again, not at all sure.
 
Thanks Andrew for the history lesson. If only the Brits had a Busse with them!

The Argonne Assault (INFI) is most definitly a fighting blade. Looks like it put the Combat in Busse Combat. :)
