America's entry into World War I in 1917 was marked by the need to
quickly build an Army and deploy it to France. Among the units
deploying was the 29th "Blue and Gray" Division. Comprised of
National Guardsmen from the Mid-Atlantic region, it quickly
achieved a reputation as a top-notch outfit during the
Meuse-Argonne campaign. This reputation was enhanced in World War
II when the 29th was selected for the assault on German-occupied
France in the D-Day landings of June 6, 1944. The courage and
sacrifice shown by Guardsmen that day was later matched in bloody
fighting at St LA', Brest, and Julich. In the years that followed,
the 29th would add to its lustrous reputation by becoming the
Guard's first "Light" division and serving effectively as
peacekeepers in the Balkans--at times only fifty miles from where
World War I started. Using previously unpublished material and
images from 1917 to 2001, here is their story.
