During [[World War I]], company commander Captain Lawrence of the US Army overheard Solomon Louis and Mitchell Bobb having a conversation in [[Choctaw language|Choctaw]]. Upon further investigation, he found eight [[Choctaw]] men served in the battalion. The Choctaw men in the Army's [[36th Infantry Division (United States)|36th Infantry Division]] were trained to use their language in code. They helped the [[American Expeditionary Forces]] in several battles of the [[Meuse-Argonne Offensive]]. On October 26, 1918, the code talkers were pressed into service and the "tide of battle turned within 24 hours ... and within 72 hours the Allies were on full attack."<ref name=choctaw_code>{{cite web |url=https://people.uwm.edu/michael/choctaw-homepage/choctaw-code-talkers/ |title= Choctaw Code Talkers of World War II |access-date=January 26, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509165525/http://www.uwm.edu/~michael/choctaw/code.htm |archive-date=May 9, 2008 |df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.history.com/news/world-war-is-native-american-code-talkers|title=World War I's Native American Code Talkers|last=Greenspan|first=Jesse|website=History.com|date=May 29, 2014 |language=en|access-date=2019-01-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190127035135/https://www.history.com/news/world-war-is-native-american-code-talkers|archive-date=January 27, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>
