1st Armored Division, Division Chronicle The 1st Armored Division soldiers gained valuable experience during this time, participating in exercises with tank veterans of the British Army who had already faced the Nazi forces in Europe. The division alerted Combat Command C (CCC), which was then moving towards Sidi Bou Zid, for participation in the operation, but instead it was diverted to the Maizila Pass in the south. Fort Knox was chosen as the home of the new force and the 7th Cavalry Brigade, the lineal predecessor of the 1st Armored Division, was organized with the personnel and equipment of the experimental force at Fort Eustis. www.army.mil /cmh-pg/matrix/1AD/1AD-cc.htm

WORLD WAR I: To Pershing, the training not only of the hastily assembled 1st Division but also of the others that followed before the end of 1917 (the 2dóhalf Regular Army, half Marine; 26thóNew England National Guard; and 42dócalled the "Rainbow Division" because it was a composite of Guardsmen from many states) was seriously inadequate. This was a Negro division, one of only two organized and sent to France during the war, although thousands of other Negroes served overseas in the Services of Supply. British and French together were to reduce the Amiens salient, then the British would erase the Lys salient while the Americans eliminated another salient in Lorraine that had stood for four years and took its name from a town at the tip, St. Mihiel. www.shsu.edu /~his_ncp/AMH-18.html

Articles - British 1st Armoured Division World War II The 1st Armoured Division was a regular division in the British Army at the outbreak of World War II. It was reformed by the redesignation of the British 1st Infantry Division, and has been stationed in Germany ever since as part of the British forces committed to NATO.

The 1st Division, 1914-1918 The Division was warned to prepare for an operation along the Belgian coast in Summer 1917 and several mobile units were attached in readiness. The Division was selected to be one that would advance into Germany and form part of the Occupation Force at Bonn. On formation of the Guards Division in August 1915, this Brigade lost its two Guards battalions and was redesignated without the Guards reference in its title. www.1914-1918.net /1div.htm

1st SS Panzer Division LAH - A World War II Online Squad In the Summer of 1942, the severely mauled LAH was pulled back to Paris to refit, and was upgraded to a Panzer-Grenadier Division in name, although it had the strength of a full Panzer Division at the time. After a lull in action for the LAH, it fought against the shrinking beach-heads of the evacuating British Army at Dunkirk, but were only able to maintain pressure against their lines. After the failed attempt to punch through the Ardennes in France, the LAH was moved one last time to the East to confront the Soviets, this time in Hungary, and took part in the last official German offensive of the War in an attempt to rescue the besieged forces in Budapest. www.go2themax.com /1SSLAH/history.shtml

Mediterranean Operations The first clash between British and Italian forces took place in the Western Desert in the early hours of June 11, before the Italian troops concerned had been told of the declaration of war. In Libya the Italian garrison was sandwiched between strong French forces in French North Africa and considerable British forces in Egypt; and Italy's other colonies were surrounded by potential enemies on all sides, although the forces arrayed against her were not very formidable in the early stages of the war. At the beginning of May 1942, the British war cabinet was pressing for an early offensive in the Western Desert, and General Auchinleck made the necessary plans. www.angelfire.com /hi/wwiifrontline/medit.html   (1024 words)
