I seem to remember them being in the Argonne a lot?

Yes, I've read a memoir from a member and I think there were at the Marne in 1914 then to the Argone and then I think Verdun. Apparently the pioneers were abused greatly.

sounds about right too. A unit used for any and everything the other units aren't.
