Topic: 58th Division


  
  British II Corps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For Fortitude North, with its headquarters supposedly at Stirling in Scotland, it notionally consisted of the genuine British 3d Infantry Division (shortly replaced by the notional British 58th Infantry Division), the genuine British 55th Division in Northern Ireland, and the genuine 113th Independent Infantry Brigade in the Orkneys.
Under Fortitude North II Corps was supposedly to attack Stavanger, with the 3d (later the 58th) Division and supporting commandos and paratroops seizing the airfields, the 55th Division joining as followup; the genuine U.S. XV Corps from Northern Ireland would augment the force, which would advance on Oslo.
It was notionally transferred to France in late September, consisting of the essentially notional 55th Division, the genuine 79th Armored Division, and the essentially notional 76th Division; also apparently at times the genuine 59th Division, disbanded but notionally kept alive.

The 58th took part in an experiment to determine if this disease could be transferred from animal to man. Blood tests were made of both man and dog before they were brought together, after they had worked together for several weeks, and again at completion of training.
Since the 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile) was the only major unit in South Vietnam that never wore their shoulder sleeve insignia in a subdued version, the men of the 58th, in early 1969, decided to go "full color" on their scout dog tab, the text and border in gold thread on a fl background.
The 58th sup- ported the 5th Mech until August 20, 1969, when the 43rd Infantry Platoon (Scout Dog), detached from the withdrawing 9th Infantry Division, was reassigned to the 1 st Brigade, 5th Mechanized Infantry Division.

 Contribution from Phil Thorneycroft
My Dad, Sgt. Matthew R. Thorneycroft, was a member of the 33rd Division and was decorated by England, (Military Medal) and Belgium (Croix de Guerre) for his actions at Chipilly Ridge on August 9/10-1918 and by the US (DSC) for deeds at Consenvoye on October 10-14, 1918.
Inexplicably, when Matt was asked about his medals, the only story he ever told to the end of his life in 1981 was the one published in his home town newspaper, the Elmhurst (Illinois) Press, in its issue of Friday, December 6, 1918.
There are five organizations which can boast of a record like that for the same length of time, and very few have seen as much fighting as we have, in spite of the foreign service chevrons they wear.
