42 Div 258th Field Artillery

The 258th Field Artillery, part of the 42nd Infantry Division (also known as the "Rainbow Division"), traces its origins to New York National Guard artillery units organized in the early 20th century. Activated during both World Wars, the unit provided crucial artillery support during major campaigns, including the Rhineland and Central Europe operations in World War II. In the postwar years, the 258th continued its service as part of the Army National Guard, participating in domestic emergencies and overseas deployments. The unit remains an integral component of the 42nd Infantry Division, upholding a legacy of service and operational excellence.
