I just found out something very interesting this morning while perusing my copy of "We Ripened Fast," the 76th Infantry Division History.
Major Genenral William R. Schmidt took command of the 76th in December, 1942 to start training the 76th for war. He commanded the 76th until August, 1945 when the 76th went "Category Four" (which apparently means that it was dissolved and it's troops assigned to other units.) Upon relenquishing command of the 76th General Schmidt took over command of... and this is very interesting due to some of the posters here... the 3rd Infantry Division.
I am sure you supplied this info before, but when did you leave the 3rd, j3rdinf?
I just found this kind of interesting since my grandpa was in the 76th from March, '45 until August '45, and I was able to find this out due in large part to tips given to me by j3rdinf, formerly of the 3rd (as well as others who advised me in my quest.)
