Excerpt from A History of the 90th Division The twenty-second division of the A. E. F. To arrive in France, the 9oth Di vision stands tenth in amount of artillery captured, thirteenth in number of machine guns captured, and fourteenth in both prisoners captured and total ad vance against the enemy. It was picked as one of the nine combatant divisions in the original Army of Occupation in Germany along with the most veteran organizations of the Expeditionary Forces. It did not fall to the lot of the goth Division to play a spectacular part in the war. It cannot boast that it was the first to carry the Stars and Stripes to the Western front. Fate did not decree that the Division should have a part in stopping the German rush for Paris. The reputation of a division is largely a matter of length of battle experience, coupled with Opportunity. The missions assigned to the 90th Division were difficult, prosaic ones, and the Division can be paid the highest military tribute - that it fulfilled every task which it was called upon to perform. Every objective was taken; not an inch of territory was yielded to the enemy; not a man straggled from his organization.
