Description: History of the 43rd Infantry Division: With the decision, following the World War, to organize two National Guard Divisions in each of the nine Corps Areas the 43rd Division came into being. Inasmuch as many of the units of the Division had formerly been a part of the famous wartime "Yankee" Division (26th), they were allowed to keep their World War designations, with the result that the Division has within it units that have histories covering every war in which the nation has participated. The combined histories of the units of the 43rd reads like a roll of honor of history of America, and the battle streamers amassed by these units reveal the farflung engagements in which men of the New England States have been called upon to defend their country's interests.
