Book Synopsis 42nd Rainbow Infantry Division by : Lt. Hugh C. Daly
Download or read book 42nd Rainbow Infantry Division written by Lt. Hugh C. Daly and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of the Rainbow is a record of the accomplishments of every man who served in the Division. It is the story of his contribution to the safety and security of the people of his country and of the world. It is a history made possible not by individual achievement, but by the combined effort of all. It is natural in such a history as this that the action of the front line soldier is emphasized. While he deserves every bit of credit that it is possible to give him, he realizes that he was able to fight and win only because he was a member of a great fighting team in which thousands of men united to defeat the enemy. This, then, is a history of the combat infantry, of the artillery, the reconnaissance troop, the medical and engineer battalions, the signal, ordnance and quartermaster companies and of the division headquarters personnel.
Book Synopsis Send the Alabamians by : Nimrod Thompson Frazer
Download or read book Send the Alabamians written by Nimrod Thompson Frazer and published by University Alabama Press. This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Send the Alabamians recounts the story of the 167th Infantry Regiment of the WWI Rainbow Division from their recruitment to their valiant service on the bloody fields of eastern France in the climactic final months of World War I. To mark the centenary of World War I, Send the Alabamians tells the remarkable story of a division of Alabama recruits whose service Douglas MacArthur observed had not “been surpassed in military history.” The book borrows its title from a quip by American General Edward H. Plummer who commanded the young men during the inauspicious early days of their service. Impressed with their ferocity and esprit de corps but exasperated by their rambunctiousness, Plummer reportedly exclaimed: In time of war, send me all the Alabamians you can get, but in time of peace, for Lord’s sake, send them to somebody else! The ferocity of the Alabamians, so apt to get them in trouble at home, proved invaluable in the field. At the climactic Battle of Croix Rouge, the hot-blooded 167th exhibited unflinching valor and, in the face of machine guns, artillery shells, and poison gas, sustained casualty rates over 50 percent to dislodge and repel the deeply entrenched and heavily armed enemy. Relying on extensive primary sources such as journals, letters, and military reports, Frazer draws a vivid picture of the individual soldiers who served in this division, so often overlooked but critical to the war’s success. After Gettysburg, the Battle of Croix Rouge is the most significant military engagement to involve Alabama soldiers in the state’s history. Families and genealogists will value the full roster of the 167th that accompanies the text. Richly researched yet grippingly readable, Nimrod T. Frazer’s Send the Alabamians will delight those interested in WWI, the World Wars, Alabama history, or southern military history in general. Historians of the war, regimental historians, military history aficionados, and those interested in previously unexplored facets of Alabama history will prize this unique volume as well.

Book Synopsis Trench Knives and Mustard Gas by : Hugh S. Thompson
Download or read book Trench Knives and Mustard Gas written by Hugh S. Thompson and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2004-05-14 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trench Knives and Mustard Gas: With the 42nd Rainbow Division in France is the memoir of a soldier on the front lines of World War I. Hugh Thompson’s memoirs of his time in France demonstrate a keen eye for detail and a penchant for philosophy. Thompson combines the fast-paced prose of the jazz age and the passionate observations of an engaged intellectual. Originally serialized in the Chattanooga Times in 1934, this newly edited version allows the author to tell his story to a whole new generation. Thomspon takes the reader on an intense journey with the 168th regiment of the 42nd Rainbow Division through the villages, towns, battlefields, and hospitals of France. He points out the sights along the way and has a knack for compressing a complex reflection on life into a single sentence. Severely wounded in his arm and back, Thompson reassesses his situation after visiting comrades who lost arms or legs. “I went back to my tent,” he recalls, “almost ashamed of my own lucky wounds.” Homesick for the States during his first months overseas, Thompson discovers that his platoon has become his second family. He becomes increasingly estranged from his old one and accustomed to the war’s distortion of time and values. Friendships form and disappear in the hour it takes a stranger to die. When he is wounded, Germans serve as his stretcher bearers. And things never happen when they take place, but later when one learns of them from a letter or from a soldier passing through. War does not destroy the physical man. It leads to strange experiences. Trench Knives and Mustard Gas brings the front lines of World War I, the Great War, to the hearts and minds of its readers. The book is an indispensable guide into the past, told by a man who was there.

Book Synopsis Suddenly Soldiers by : Robert Thompson
Download or read book Suddenly Soldiers written by Robert Thompson and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans Face the Horror of a Modern European War for the First Time Made up of companies from ten Ohio towns, the 166th Infantry Regiment became part of the famous 42nd Division, known as the "Rainbow Division." They were the third American division to arrive in France, where they fought courageously in the trenches at Lunéville and Baccarat before being a key part of the American effort in the Second Battle of the Marne and the Saint Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne offensives. Despite their initial lack of training in modern warfare and weapons, the 166th Infantry compiled an impressive combat record. However, that record came at a terrible cost, with the regiment suffering over two thousand casualties in just nine months of fighting. Using regimental histories and the letters and diaries of the soldiers who fought in France, Suddenly Soldiers: The 166th Infantry Regiment in World War I by author and historian Robert Thompson tells the compelling story of the young men--"citizen soldiers"--who have always borne the cost of America's freedom with quiet courage.
Book Synopsis Mount of Congregation by : Mark A. Davis
Download or read book Mount of Congregation written by Mark A. Davis and published by . This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the spring of 1944. Blace Davis has no thought of fighting in the war. After all, he is a man with dependents -- a wife and six children, with a seventh on the way. But then everything changes. Mount of Congregation is a true story of bravery in the midst of one of the most audacious military operations in American history: the U.S. Army 42nd Infantry "Rainbow" Division's final assault into the heart of Nazi Germany. Author Mark A. Davis describes battle scenes with concussive clarity while faithfully retelling his grandfather's account of trying to survive the throes of war. Meticulously researched, yet imbued with the singular tenderness a boy feels for his grandfather, Mount of Congregation is an engrossing story of love, family and survival. It is also a transgenerational testament to belief in a Creator who has a plan for every person's life -- including an American infantryman far from his Appalachian home, pressing onward toward Hitler's Siegfried Line. Mark A. Davis received his degree in physician assistant studies from Jefferson College of Health Sciences in Roanoke, Virginia, in 2004. He has lived most of his life in the foothills of Virginia. He is a veteran of the United States armed forces and has practiced medicine as a physician assistant for the Department of the Army, taking part in the treatment and care of active duty service members, veterans, and their families. He currently resides in South Carolina with his wife, Melissa.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rainbow Memories: Character Sketches and History of the First Battalion 166th Infantry, 42nd Division, American Expeditionary Force As some one, whom I now do not recall, has said, "I have but one sentiment for soldiers; cheers for the living, and reverence for the dead." And so this little volume referring to our active service in the World War, is fittingly and reverently dedicated to our comrades who found in the midst of conflict the serenity of death. May it, too, be the medium of keeping alive the fraternal associations and friendships among the living, who braved with equal courage and fortitude the ever-present imperilments of the war. As a Battalion you have had no superiors - and few equals. You have been a magnificent fighting unit. I tender my appreciation of your valor as well as my sincere assurances of continued confidence, affection and esteem. To the chief author of this brief history, First Lieutenant Alison Reppy - to its character artist, Private Heathcote Mann, Company A - to its map artist, Private Rudolph Cullen, Company C - I present my compliments and unreservedly pass my judgment that their work has been well done and reflects credit upon their efforts and ability.
