Military Historical Society of Minnesota
The 34th “Red Bull” Infantry Division 1917-2010 Organization and World War One The 34th Infantry Division was created from National Guard troops of Minnesota, Iowa, the Dakotas and Nebraska in late summer 1917, four months after the US entered World War One. Training was conducted at Camp Cody, near Deming, New Mexico (pop. 3,000). Dusty wind squalls swirled daily through the area, giving the new division a nickname: the “Sandstorm Division.” As the men arrived at Camp Cody other enlistees from the Midwest and Southwest joined them. Many of the Guardsmen had been together a year earlier at Camp Llano Grande, near Mercedes, Texas, on the Mexican border. Training went well, and the officers and men waited anxiously throughout the long fall and winter of 1917-18 for orders to ship for France. Their anticipation turned to anger and frustration, however, when word was received that spring that the 34th had been chosen to become a replacement division. Companies, batteries and regiments, which had developed esprit de corps and cohesion, were broken up, and within two months nearly all personnel were reassigned to other commands in France. Reduced to a skeleton of cadre NCOs and officers, the 34th remained at Camp Cody just long enough for new draftees to refill its ranks. The reconstituted division then went to France, but by the time it arrived in October 1918, it was too late to see action. The war ended the following month. Between Wars After World War One, the 34th was reorganized with National Guardsmen from Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota.

Allies Spring, 2012 Part II ‘Mr. National Guard’ Vol. XX, No. 2 Ellard A. Walsh (1887-1975) The Minnesota National Guard we know today owes much to this longest-serving AG By Jack K. Johnson Part I (Winter 2012 issue) highlighted events in the life of Major Gen- eral Ellard Walsh (1887-1975) prior to World War Two. Walsh, Minnesota’s longest serving Adjutant General, also played a major role in shaping the Na- tional Guard as we know it today. Part II begins after Walsh stepped down as commanding general of the 34th Infantry Division. Walsh’s request to be relieved from active duty was approved, effective October 31, 1941. He returned to his St. Paul office in the state Capitol build- ing and dove into the tasks at hand, such as creating a State Defense Force to replace National Guard units now in federal service. He also attended to is- sues on a national level.
