Download or read book A Brief History of the 30th Division written by The 30th Division and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2012-03-26 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formed originally as the 37th Division in December 1914, mainly through the efforts of the Earl of Derby, whose crest, the Eagle and Child on the Cap of Maintenance was adopted as the divisional sign, the division was renumbered 30th in April 1915. It was the senior division of Kitchener's Fourth New Army and was an entirely Lancashire division: the infantry came from the King's (Liverpool) and the Manchesters, all Pals battalions, while the artillery, engineers and signals were all designated County Palatine. The division went to France in November 1915 and on the opening day of the Somme it recorded one of the few successes of that awful day by securing all its objectives, including Montauban. For the next two years it fought on the Western Front but by May 1918 its casualties were such that it was reduced to cadre and ceased to exist in its original form. It was reconstituted in June/July with nine new battalions and re-entered the line in September 1918, and it is at this point that this history takes up the story. It begins with the Order of Battle of the reformed division and the list of staff and commanders down to unit level and follows this with a very cursory review of the activities of the original, pre-reform division, and background notes on the battalions of the new division. The narrative consists of a series of short accounts of the operations in which the division was involved, each covering a specified period and each followed by a list of immediate awards made in connection with those operations. At the end is a list of the awards made to the division in the 1919 New Year’s Honours list. Total casualties throughout the war amounted to 35,182; two VCs were won, both before the division was reformed.

Book excerpt: The best U.S. division at war, from Normandy to the Bulge and beyond The 30th Infantry Division, drawn from the hill country of Tennessee and the Carolinas, was regarded during World War II as the cream of the crop of U.S. fighting units. The Germans agreed, calling the division “Roosevelt’s SS” for its tenacity and skill. The 30th fought in Normandy, along the Siegfried Line (where it conducted “the perfect infantry attack”), at the Battle of the Bulge, and in the final operations inside Germany. Baumer relies on primary sources to tell the story of this remarkable unit and its men in what is sure to become a classic World War II division history.

Download or read book The Fighting 30th Division written by Martin King and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The full story of the legendary US infantry division and their remarkable service in WWII, told through interviews with surviving servicemen. The 30th Infantry Division earned more Medals of Honor than any other American division in World War I. In World War II, it spent more consecutive days in combat than almost any other outfit. Recruited mainly from the Carolinas, Georgia, and Tennessee, they were some of the hardest-fighting soldiers in Europe. They possessed an intrinsic zeal to engage the enemy that often left their adversaries in awe. Their US Army nickname was the “Old Hickory” Division. But after encountering them on the battlefield, the Germans called them “Roosevelt’s SS.” The Fighting 30th Division chronicles the exploits of this illustrious unit through the eyes of those who were actually there. From Normandy to the Westwall and the Battle of the Bulge, each chapter is meticulously researched with accurate timelines and after-action reports. The last remaining veterans of the 30th to see action firsthand relate their experiences here for the first time, including previously untold accounts from survivors.
Book Synopsis Borrowed Soldiers by : Mitchell A. Yockelson
Download or read book Borrowed Soldiers written by Mitchell A. Yockelson and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combined British Expeditionary Force and American II Corps successfully pierced the Hindenburg Line during the Hundred Days Campaign of World War I, an offensive that hastened the war’s end. Yet despite the importance of this effort, the training and operation of II Corps has received scant attention from historians. Mitchell A. Yockelson delivers a comprehensive study of the first time American and British soldiers fought together as a coalition force—more than twenty years before D-Day. He follows the two divisions that constituted II Corps, the 27th and 30th, from the training camps of South Carolina to the bloody battlefields of Europe. Despite cultural differences, General Pershing’s misgivings, and the contrast between American eagerness and British exhaustion, the untested Yanks benefited from the experience of battle-toughened Tommies. Their combined forces contributed much to the Allied victory. Yockelson plumbs new archival sources, including letters and diaries of American, Australian, and British soldiers to examine how two forces of differing organization and attitude merged command relationships and operations. Emphasizing tactical cooperation and training, he details II Corps’ performance in Flanders during the Ypres-Lys offensive, the assault on the Hindenburg Line, and the decisive battle of the Selle. Featuring thirty-nine evocative photographs and nine maps, this account shows how the British and American military relationship evolved both strategically and politically. A case study of coalition warfare, Borrowed Soldiers adds significantly to our understanding of the Great War.
Book Synopsis Work Horse Of The Western Front; The Story Of The 30th Infantry Division by : Robert L. Hewitt
Download or read book Work Horse Of The Western Front; The Story Of The 30th Infantry Division written by Robert L. Hewitt and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes over 25 maps and 50 photos. More than 60 American divisions participated in the defeat of Germany in 1944-45. This is the story of one of the best of them, a division which fought continually from the Normandy beachhead to the banks of the Elbe River in the heart of Germany. Work Horse of the Western Front is as accurate and honest an account as the writer could make it under the circumstances. Waging war is an exacting business undertaken under conditions which make for confusion and “snafu.” The writer has taken the facts as he saw them, the bad as well as the good, with the conviction that he would slight the very real achievements of the Division if he attempted to present a saccharine picture of inevitable triumphs. The measure of a great fighting unit is not that it never runs into difficulties but that it minimizes its errors and gains by experience. By these standards, Old Hickory was a great division—as is evidenced by the caliber of the tasks it was called upon to perform.

Book Synopsis History Of The Third Infantry Division In World War II by : Lt. Donald G. Taggart
Download or read book History Of The Third Infantry Division In World War II written by Lt. Donald G. Taggart and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-28 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few units in the U.S. Army can boast as proud a unit history as the Third Infantry Division; it fought on all of the Europe and North African fronts that American soldiers were engaged against the Axis forces during World War II. The 3rd Infantry Division saw combat in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France, Germany and Austria for 531 consecutive days. In this official division history written by the officers who served with the unit at the time serves as a fascinating memorial and a detailed history of the “Marne Division” during World War II. The 3rd Inf. Division made landfall in Fedala on the 8th November 1942 as part of Operation Torch during the Allied invasion of North Africa and was engaged in heavy fighting before the German and Italian troops were finally levered out of the continent. The division was back in the thick of the fighting in Sicily under the command of such famous leaders as Generals Lucien Truscott, Omar Bradley and George S. Patton. As part of General Mark Clark’s U.S. Fifth army it engaged in some of the bloodiest engagements of the Italian campaign at Salerno beaches, Volturno river, Monte Cassino and Anzio. Under their old division commander General Truscott they formed part of the force that landed in Southern France and battled into the heart of Germany before the eventual capitulation of the Nazi High command in 1945. Richly illustrated with maps and pictures throughout.
