45th Infantry Division

My uncle served in the 179th Regimental Combat Team (RCT) of the 45th Infantry Division. He joined the guard in 1933 when jobs were scarce. He was called to active duty when the 45th was activated for training by President Roosevelt in September 1940.

The division continued training until they debarked from Hampton Roads VA in June 1943 to an unknown destination.
