Rare WW2 US 3rd Infantry Division Unit History + Roster...

A fascinating original history of the 3rd Infantry Division documenting the men, units, training, and wartime service of this American infantry division during World War II. Published in approx 1946 by the Infantry Journal, this substantial volume provides a unique contemporary record of the division shortly before and during its deployment to the European Theater. It is nicely dedicated to a soldier from the 30th Infantry Regiment. The sun makes the book look more yellow than it actually is. Huge volume! The 3rd Division is the only division of the U.S. Army during World War II that fought the Axis on all European fronts,[13] and was among the first American combat units to engage in offensive ground combat operations. Audie Murphy, the most highly decorated American soldier of the war, served with the 3rd Division.[14] The 3rd Infantry Division saw combat in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France, Germany and Austria for 531 consecutive days.[15] During the war, the 3rd Infantry Division consisted of the 7th, 15th and 30th Infantry Regiments, together with supporting units.
