The 3rd Inf. Div. (ETO) had 39 MOH's awarded to its members in WW 2. The history
of each is in the "History of the Third Infantry Division in WW 2" book. The 3rd Inf.
Div. also had the highest number of battle casualies of any U.S. Division in WW 2.
The numbers Marion posted from "Order of Battle" seems to agree with the figures
in its own History. In fact it shows all figures for each major campaign/battle area,
by dates (from - to) with battle and non battle casualies and R.T.U.' s and replacements. Only thing not showing was Div. size each time which should have
been aprox. 15,000 but usually around 12, 000 or less, due to a lack of casualty replacements..
