On December 6, 1916 the 34th was assigned to the 7th Division and in August 1918 the regiment sailed for France. In the closing days of World War I the 34th was moved into the Puvenelle sector in France where it fought with great valor. For this and subsequent actions against the Germans the regiment was cited by the French government with the Battle Honors of “Lorraine.”
Following the signing of the Armistice, the 34th remained in Germany as part of the Occupation Army until June 1919.
