The 36th Infantry division saw intense combat in World War One - the story of their training and battles in France is enwoven with rich anecdotes and details of the conflict. Trained in Texas at Camp Bowie, much of the Corps' exercises were orientated around the realities of the Western Front: digging trenches, bayonet practice, and use of the rifle. The arrival of the fresh units of American troops in France in the autumn of 1917 is eye-opening; much of the front was in poor condition, worn down by more than three years of stagnant warfare and horrific losses. The 36th and other divisions invigorated the Allied war effort; their enthusiasm and determination, and their solidarity with the local French citizens, gave hope that victory was near. Yet the 36th and their companion divisions would fight for over a year: the new technology introduced to the front is described, as is the emergence of the Spanish Flu pandemic. The German army mounted a dogged defense, yet their ebbing resources and sheer manpower of the Allies made their situation ever more difficult. Amid the chaos of the front lines, German prisoners are taken on several occasions, with many appearing relieved and glad of their capture. The author, Captain Ben H. Chastaine, accompanies his narrative with some forty photographs, allowing the reader to better visualize the events he evocatively describes.

Here is an encompassing and insightful history of the distinguished 36th Division, which traces back to the 1870s and officially formed for World War I. In the Second World War, the 36th led the first contested Allied landing in Europe and gave the Fifth Army “the key” to Rome. Readers interested in early Texas and Western history, the Civil War, Reconstruction, the world wars, and the continuing debate over the best structure for the American military, will enjoy this exciting adventure story. The 36th Division was formed in 1917, just after the United States entered World War I. The division's documented ancestors in the Texas National Guard, the Texas Volunteer Guard, and the Texas militia trace back to the 1870s. The tradition in which the 36th played so great a part even predates the 1836 defense of the Alamo. This history explores the division's origins and also goes "over there" with the 36th for combat in World War I, chronicles the division in state National Guard service between the world wars, and witnesses its federalization in 1940, followed by combat training in 1940-1942 and combat action in Italy and France during the Second World War.

This remarkable and very rare memoir discusses the bloody combat history of the Texas National Guard 36th Infantry Division in World War II, from pre-embarkation training through the capture of Rome. The perspective, as seen through the eyes of its author, General Fred Walker, is refreshing for its refusal to rely upon hindsight and revisionist history. Walker led a division longer than any other American officer during World War II. The 36th earned a formidable reputation—and paid a high price for that distinction. Only five divisions in the entire U.S. Army suffered more casualties than the 36th during the course of the war. Some of the division’s fighting included the hard battles of Salerno and Monte Cassino. The 36th was assigned an assault river crossing at the Rapido to outflank the Cassino position and although several companies made it to the far bank, their tank support failed to cross the river. A German panzer grenadier counterattack pushed the infantry of the 36th back across the river with heavy losses. General Mark Clark, the 5th Army Commander, in what appeared to be an effort to scapegoat, relieved several key 36th division officers, although General Walker was retained as its commanding general. After the allies captured Rome, Walker was reassigned to command the Infantry School at Fort Benning. Includes a special guest Preface by Jeffrey W. Hunt, Director of the Texas Military Forces Museum, illustrations, photographs, maps. 504 pages.
