Rocky, this is another tribute to the 34th Division that I found in Carlo D'Este's book, Patton: A Genius for War (page 487):
During the final month of the Tunisian campaign II Corps proved equal to the challenge Marshall had insisted it be given. What Alexander had intended to be yet another minor diversionary action, at Bizerte, turned out to be decisive in sealing off the northern end of the Allied trap. The 34th Division was deliberately given an important and difficult task and performed brilliantly during the bloody battle for Hill 609. The Allied trap was sprung when the Eighth Army pushed the Axis army into the coastal plain around Tunis, where von Arnim surrendered in mid-May. About 100,000 of the approximately 250,000 Axis troops bagged near Tunis were German. Bradley sent Eisenhower a simple two-word message: "Mission accomplished." At about the same time Alexander was sending his now famous message to Churchill: "Sir, it is my duty to report that the Tunisian campaign is over. All enemy resistance has ceased. We are masters of the North African shores."
