Joe, you handsome devil, you! Such young and handsome men.

 

Jim, the fellow in the middle of the photo with the different hat, wonder what the story is there?

I love it every time a new photo appears on our forum. Thanks to all for the time and effort.

 

I have another great photo that was sent to me this weekend, but I will place it elsewhere, don't want to get too far off the MOH topic. I wouldn't get any brownie points as a moderator!

 

The new photo will be under WWII Engineers. If this doesn't get you laughing and grinning, then nothin' will this morning.

The 3rd Inf. Div. (ETO) had 39 MOH's awarded to its members in WW 2. The history

of each is in the "History of the Third Infantry Division in WW 2" book. The 3rd Inf.

Div. also had the highest number of battle casualies of any U.S. Division in WW 2.

The numbers Marion posted from "Order of Battle" seems to agree with the figures

in its own History. In fact it shows all figures for each major campaign/battle area,

by dates (from - to) with battle and non battle casualies and R.T.U.' s and replacements. Only thing not showing was Div. size each time which should have

been aprox. 15,000 but usually around 12, 000 or less, due to a lack of casualty replacements..
