In world war 2 the american expeditionary force was led by

My grandfather was part of the Expeditionary Force in France. I think he said it was General Pershing.

The American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) consisted of the United States Armed Forces sent to Europe under the command of General John J. Pershing in 1917 to help fight World War I. During the United States campaigns in World War I the AEF fought in France alongside French and British allied forces in the last year of the war, against German forces.
