  • Division on the Western Front, 1916-1918 By
    An Inter-Disciplinary Study of Learning in the 32nd Division on the Western Front, 1916-1918 by Stuart Bruce Taylor Mitchell Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of Birmingham, 2013 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The idea of a learning process has become broadly accepted among military historians of the First World War, but explanations for how and why this occurred remain limited. This thesis uses a number of different disciplines alongside more orthodox historical analysis of what the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) did at the divisional level to learn the lessons from combat in an uncompromising operational environment. At the beginning of 1916 the BEF was predominantly a citizen army lacking experience. This marked a low-point in the BEF's fighting capabilities. This thesis charts the development from 1916 to the Armistice in 1918 using the British 32nd Division as a case study. The division participated in a number of major operations including the Battle of the Somme, the German withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line, the Battles of Nieuport, Passchendaele, Amiens and the Hundred Days.

  • Reunion Souvenir
    Reunion Souvenir Issued by the 121st Field Artillery Veterans' Association upon the occasion of the First Annual Reunion of the 32nd Division ("Les Terribles") At Milwaukee September 18-21, 1920 1 The 121st Field Artillery The 121st Field Artillery came into being in 1917, when the First Field Artillery, Wisconsin Army National Guard was mustered into federal service and made a part of the 32nd Division, United States Army. During its service in France, the regiment was armed with 155 mm. howitzers (Schneider) and its equipment was horse-drawn. After the armistice it was motorized. As a part of the National Guard, the regiment was the outgrowth of Battery A of Milwaukee, which had been in existence since the Spanish-American war. In 1916, when the Mexican border troubles became accute and war was threatened there, the entire Guard of Wisconsin was ordered to Texas for the maneuvers and Capt. Philip C. Westfahl was instructed to complete the organization of a battalion of 3 batteries of light artillery. Battery A was then equipped with 3-inch field pieces. As a result of this order, Battery B was formed at Green Bay and Battery C at Racine. Many of the members of these organizations were attached to Battery A during its border service, the rest of the command spending two weeks at Camp Douglas in training. Battery A returned to Milwaukee on Oct. 26, 1916. The organization of the 3 batteries were perfected, Capt. Westfahl being promoted to major, and regular drills were held in the armories during the winter. In spring of 1917 when American participation in the World War became a certainty, the War Department ordered the battalion to be increased to a full regiment The Adjutant General of the state gave instructions to have the 3 new batteries recruited in the same cities - Milwaukee, Green Bay, and Racine.

    US Army Units, Book 4 Boxes 748-902 1st INFANTRY DIVISION, 1942-1945. 1,600 pages (approximate) Boxes 756-757 The “Big Red One Division” was one of the first American divisions to see combat when it landed at Oran in North Africa (November 1942). The Division participated for the next two and one-half years in numerous operations and engagements of the Algeria-French Morocco, Tunisia, Sicily, Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe campaigns. Despite the Division’s length of service in the war, the series is relatively small. The series contains operation reports, activity reports, historical reports, memoranda, security diaries, messages, journals, maps, and map overlays. Although the material covers the period from late 1942 to mid-1945, the bulk of it covers the period from early 1943 to mid-1944. The material is not organized into subseries but is organized according to the classification scheme of the Departmental Records Branch and chronologically thereunder. There are very few division-level historical or after action reports. Most of the materials within the series consist of G-2, G-3 and staff section reports covering the North African and Sicily campaigns. Among the varied items within the Series are memoranda regarding the visit of General Eisenhower (April 1944), a color sketch of the 1st Medical Regiment Coat of Arms, and a copy of the II Corps (commanded by George S. Patton) operation report for the Tunisian campaign (March 15-April 10, 1943). CHRONOLOGY 1st Infantry Division August 2, 1942 The Division departed New York for Scotland November 8-10, 1942 The Division landed at Oran and took part in the initial fighting in North Africa.
