76th Infantry

The 76th Infantry Division, known as the "Onaway Division," was first activated in August 1917 during World War I but did not see overseas combat before the Armistice. Reactivated for World War II, the division trained at Fort George G. Meade and landed in Europe in January 1945. The 76th participated in the final offensives across Germany, advancing through the Siegfried Line and capturing numerous towns until V-E Day. After the war, the division served occupation duties before being inactivated in late 1945.
