  • This Index Lists the Army Units for Which Records Are Available at the Eisenhower Library
    DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS U.S. ARMY: Unit Records, 1917-1950 Linear feet: 687 Approximate number of pages: 1,300,000 The U.S. Army Unit Records collection (formerly: U.S. Army, U.S. Forces, European Theater: Selected After Action Reports, 1941-45) primarily spans the period from 1917 to 1950, with the bulk of the material covering the World War II years (1942-45). The collection is comprised of organizational and operational records and miscellaneous historical material from the files of army units that served in World War II. The collection was originally in the custody of the World War II Records Division (now the Modern Military Records Branch), National Archives and Records Service. The material was withdrawn from their holdings in 1960 and sent to the Kansas City Federal Records Center for shipment to the Eisenhower Library. The records were received by the Library from the Kansas City Records Center on June 1, 1962. Most of the collection contained formerly classified material that was bulk-declassified on June 29, 1973, under declassification project number 735035. General restrictions on the use of records in the National Archives still apply. The collection consists primarily of material from infantry, airborne, cavalry, armor, artillery, engineer, and tank destroyer units; roughly half of the collection consists of material from infantry units, division through company levels. Although the collection contains material from over 2,000 units, with each unit forming a separate series, every army unit that served in World War II is not represented. Approximately seventy-five percent of the documents are from units in the European Theater of Operations, about twenty percent from the Pacific theater, and about five percent from units that served in the western hemisphere during World War II.

  • The 100Th Infantry Division
    TWO THE 100TH INFANTRY DIVISION It began quietly enough, a little more than eight months after Japan’s surprise attack on the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor had forced America into a world war. In mid-August 1942, a number of War Department officials—the commanders of the Army Ground Forces, the Service of Supply,and the Second and Third armies— began assigning officers to a cadre around which a new infantry division would be built. Command of the division went to Maj. Gen. Withers Alexander Burress, who, although not a West Pointer, had established a distinguished pedigree in the prewar service.1 Born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1894, Burress had graduated from his state’s military institute—the alma mater of Army Chief of Staff George C. Marshall and at which George S. Patton Jr. had spent a year before going on to West Point. At the Virginia Military Institute (VMI), Burress excelled not only in the classroom and on the drill plain but also, despite a rather unprepossessing physique (five feet nine and less than 170 pounds), on the gridiron. He impressed his instructors and teammates with his brains, energy, and competitiveness. He made lifelong friends, forged important 30 WAR IN THE RUINS connections, and gained the enduring nickname “Pinky” in refer- ence to his reddish hair, alabaster complexion, and many freckles. Soft-spoken and dignified, he allowed deeds to speak for him, and they did so eloquently.By 1914, his graduation year, his superiors had marked him as an officer of merit and ability.2 Three years later, Burress went to France with the American Expeditionary Forces as a second lieutenant in the 23rd Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division.
