Formed in 1917, the division quickly gained the nickname "Blue and Gray", reflecting on the fact
that it comprised soldiers from states on both sides of the American Civil War. Deployed to France
as a part of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I, the division saw intense combat
in the final days of the war, and suffered heavy casualties. At the end of the war, it demobilized,
though remained an active National Guard unit.
World War II
At the outbreak of World War II, the United States Army began buildup and reorganization of its
fighting forces. The division was reactivated into active service in February 3, 1941.[4] Elements
of the division were then sent to Fort Meade, Maryland for training.[5] The 57th and 58th Brigades
were deactivated as part of an army-wide removal of Brigades from divisions.[7] Instead, the
division was based around three infantry regiments; the 115th Infantry Regiment, the 116th
Infantry Regiment, and the 175th Infantry Regiment.[8] Also assigned to the division were the
110th, 111th, 224th, and 227th Field Artillery Battalions, as well as the 29th Signal Company,
the 729th Ordnance Company, the 29th Quartermaster Company, the 29th Reconnaissance Troop, the
121st Engineer Battalion, the 104th Medical Battalion, and the 29th Counter Intelligence Detachment.
On March 12, 1942, this reorganization was complete, and the division then began preparing for
deployment to Europe.[6]
The division was sent to England on October 5, 1942.[4] It was based throughout England and
Scotland, where it immediately began training for an invasion of northern Europe across the
English Channel. In May 1943 the division moved to the Devon-Cornwall peninsula and started
conducting simulated attacks against fortified positions.[5] At this time it was assigned to
V Corps of the First United States Army
