| | Eisenhower Visit October '46 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | General of the Armies Dwight D. Eisenhower culminated a sweeping nine hour tour of the 88th Division last Wednesday evening, 16 October [1946], by inspecting a Guard of Honor composed of almost 2000 American and British troops drawn up at the Campoformido Airfield near Udine. |
 | | CAMPOFORMIDO UDINE - In the command with which I was associated the major portion of the forces engaged were from our two countries, although there were represented contingents from others, notably France, Poland, and a few others. |
 | | This evening at the end of a long and very enjoyable inspection of the American zone here, it is a particularly heart-warming experience to see again soldiers of the American army and the British army, including air detachments, here together on the same field. |
