HISTORY COMMITTEE EIGHTIETH DIVISION VETERANS'ASSOCIA TION (TBE BLUE RIDGE DIVISION) HEADQUARTERS HAMILTON, P. C.) TO ALL MEM'BERS OF THE 80TH DIVISION-PAST OR PRESENT, RELATIVES-OR ANY PERSON INTERESTED: This letter is addressed to you in order to supply information relative to the forthcoming History of the 80th Division. It has been decided by the Division Association to publish a large one-volume History of approximately 500 pages which will embrace a comprehensive, representative and authoritative record of the 80th Division in camp and overseas. The book will be profusely illustrated with maps and photographs descriptive of all phases of the Division's training period and com­ bat service, and will include numerous important f eatures, among them being the official Divisional casualty list, both Ameri­ can and Foreign decorations, all War Department, G. H. Q. A. E. F., Divisional and Brigade citations, ·Embarkation and Debarkation tables, lists of Division personnel captured by the enemy, statements of prisoners and material taken, enemy units engaged, advances made, station lists in the A. E. F., strength reports, rosters, commendatory orders and messages, and much material never before published. ! The volume will constitute a complete narrative, the full and authentic story of operations and achievements of the Division that "Always moved forward," a credit to the Eightieth, an enduring monument to its heroic dead and a valuable memento for every man who served with it at any time. Its ultimate success must depend largely upon the measure of your support and co-operation. A Divisional History Committee has been formed, and its members have agreed to undertake the asseml"-ling of the neces­ sary data and compilation of the History gratuitiously. Much progress, extending over the past years, has already been made and it is expected to have the volume ready f or di stribution during the next year. The expense of organization ·and preliminary work has been underwritten by members and friends of the Division, and we are assured of a book merit­ ing your approval and subscription. The Eightieth Division Veterans' Association, in f ourth annual convention at Norfolk, Va., unanimously decided that the costs of publication and distribution should be defrayed by means of individual subscriptions at the fixed rate of $5.00 per copy, thereby reserving for the Division the honor and prestige of financing its own History an d safeguarding our best ideals and traditions. You are earnestly requested to fill out and mail the attached subscription form promptly, in order that the initial edition of ~h.e Division History required may be ascertained without delay and thus insure a sufficient supply for every individual des1nng a copy of the volume. All communications should be addressed, and remittances be made payable, to Treasur er, 80th J?ivisior: History Com_mittee, ·Charleston, W. Va. All subscriptions accompanied by remittances will be filled in the order of thell' receipt, upon publication of the History; all other subscribers will be notified when the book is ready for delivery . . SU:BSOR:IBE NOW, BUDDY. Co-operate with the com-mitt ee, and the 80th (Blue Ridge) Division will live in history as It d1d durmg the World War-among the foremost of the American Expeditionary Forces. Assist us by passing the word to some other members of t he Division who may not have received this notice. Yours in Comradeship, RUSSELL L. STULTZ, Chairman, History
