Zustand: Good. [1944]., [1944]. Good. - 1) Mimeograph of a "DRAFT" Commendation from Major General M.S. Eddy, Commanding General of the XII Corps, to the "Commanding Officer, 38th Replacement Battalion". "Despite the rapid advance of the XII Corps across Northern France and [its] frequently over-extended supply lines, the strength of this command has been kept promptly and consistently at extremely close to its proper level. Much of the credit for the promptness of replacement deliveries during this movement, I feel, is due to the foresighted and aggressive manner in which the 38th Replacement Battalion has kept apace of our advance." There are 2 pencil corrections in the text. 2) A two-page carbon on onionskin of a document marked "SECRET", dated September 5, 1944, with the subject "Recommendation for Unit Citation, 134th Infantry Regiment." The document originates from the "Headquarters 35th Infantry Division / Office of the Commanding General", Paul W. Baade. It is addressed to "Commanding General, Third U. S. Army.", George S. Patton, Jr. "It is recommended that the 134th Infantry Regiment, 35th Infantry Division, be cited for extraordinary heroism and outstanding performance of duty in action against the enemy in the capture of the St. Lo - Torigni sur Vire area." General Baade goes on to describe in some detail the Normandy Battle of St. Lo and particularly the taking of Hill 122 by the former Nebraska National Guard Unit whose battle cry was "All Hell Can't Stop Us!". "The 134th Infantry Regiment landed in France on 5 July 1944. It launched its first attack against the enemy in the operation against St. Lo on 15 July 1944 after having been in Corps Reserve from 11 July 1944. .The regimental zone covered terrain interspersed with sunken roads and checkered with hedgerows enclosing small fields of earth approximately six feet in height from four to six feet in width, surmounted by shrubbery varying in size from small bushes to trees as large as two feet in diameter.So strongly emplaced and stubbornly defended were the enemy weapons that it was necessary for individual soldiers to crawl forward to throw grenades into the enemy positions or destroy the enemy crews with small arms fire in order to silence the enemy guns.Utilizing to the fullest the brief time during which the regiment was in Corps Reserve, the regiment developed a store of small unit tactics especially designed for the terrain involved.The extensively prepared hedgerow positions on Hill 122, impregnable to small arms fire, required artillery preparation and support to the extent of seven thousand rounds of artillery and sixty-four hundred rounds of 4.2 chemical mortar shells. By aggressiveness and outstanding performance, and through superior leadership and battle skill normally present only among seasoned combat troops, this regiment, in its first combat operation, captured Hill 122, successfully defended it against vigorous enemy counterattacks, and drove into the city of St. Lo.During the entire period 15 July to 6 August 1944 the regiment occupied the most strongly contested sectors of the Division front. Its response to attack orders was unstinted, and its performance generally far above the call of duty. Countless deeds of individual and group heroism were performed." "During the operation the regiment suffered casualties of 264 killed in action, 1182 wounded in action, and 44 missing in action. The regiment captured 309 prisoners during the period." The document is signed in type "Paul W. Baade, Major General, U.S.A. Commanding". The document has a blue stamp "RECEIVED 11 SEP 1944 / XII CORPS Classified Records" followed by the manuscript number "4117". On the front page of the document in the top right corner is the pencil annotation "C/S For action FILE" followed by initials in ink. 3) Three carbons on onion skin of a letter dated October 16, 1944 from Major General M.S. Eddy congratulating 3 Commanders on their successes thus far. The recipients are Lt. Colonel Wesley B. Hamilton commanding the 86th Chemical Battalion, Brigadier General John M. Lentz commanding the XII Corps Artillery, and Major Frederick D. Sutterfield commanding the 37th Medical Battalion. "The Germans, even the best and most experienced of them, are visibly frightened of us.We are now between rounds of a fight to the knockout. The last round saw the Boche stagger back into his corner. While we are gathering our strength for the kill, he is hanging on the ropes." Each carbon has a blue or purplish stamp reading "DISPATCHED 17 OCT 1944 12th CORPS", and a pencil notation "file for instructions / Sgt Kimble 17 oct". 4) Mimeograph "FILE" copy of a message to Major General Eddy from George S Patton forwarding the congratulations of General George C. Marshall for the capture of Metz. Dated November 24, 1944 Patton writes "Radiogram received from General Marshall which is in substance herewith quoted: 'Congratulations on the capture of Metz and the splendid advance your Corps are making in spite of floods and mud and bitter enemy resistance. My very personal congratulations to Eddy and Walker on the grand show their troops are putting on towards bringing this war to a triumphant conclusion'". Patton then adds his own congratulations to Eddy. On November 28 Eddy has himself added his own feelings of pride to "Commanders, all units attached or assigned XII Corps". The document is stamped "29 NOV 1944" with the ink annotation "Distribution Completed / RCS" The initials stand for Requirement Control Symbol. The initials of several, 5 or 6, recipients of the document are in the top right hand corner. 5) Mimeograph "FILE" copy of a Commendation dated December 8, 1944 from Lieut. General Patton to Major General Eddy. "1. Today marks the end of thirty days of relentless and victorious action against a well-posted and determined enemy in the face of appalling conditions of terrain and weather.3. All ranks of the XII Corps are hereby highly commended for their super-human.…
