[Custermen]

Custermen; Just to keep the story straight. It was

the 34th. (RED BULL), Divn. that had the most days of combat not

the 32nd.

Hey! I agree with you. I'm just reporting what "they" said. I'm not sure which division was in the Pacific (the Philippines, to be exact) when the war began. And if a division was taken captive, do they get credit for time in combat?? I wouldn't think so.

 

While reading "An Army at Dawn", I've been paying close attention to the RED BULL division and units. According to this book, the 175th Field Artillery Battalion was the first American unit to go into combat against the German Wehrmacht. I guess that is ruling out the commando raids that used small units or fraction of units. That prompted me to purchase a DI pin for the 175FA to add to my collection.

It also mentions the beating that the 168th Regiment took.

Where you there in N. Africa?? Were you in any of these desert battles?
