Onec during its tour of duty in the ST. MIHIEL seetor and twiee during the ARGONNE-MEUSE drive, the Corps Commander, thinking that the division had done its duty in holding the line and in reaching its objectives, wished to withdraw it from the line and send it to a rest area. General Wright, the Division Commander, spokc for himself and for the officers and men of the Division, stating that the division did not wish to be withdrawn, but desired to continue.
The result is that the 89th American Division after it onee went into aetive service in the line never was in "A Rest Area."
The number of decorations that have been awarded to members of the Division are as follows: Congressional Medal of Honor 8
Distinguished Service Crosses 104
Belgian War Crosses 2
Distinguished Service Medals 2
Croix de Guerre 55
On November 24, 1918, the Division as a member of the Third American Army, Seventh Corps, advaneed into Germany as a part of the Army of Occupation, proceeding thru Belgium and Luxemburg.
While in Germany the Division oeeupied, directed the eivil affairs, and guarded the largest area of any Division in the American Army of Oeeupation. This area at its extreme points was 37 miles wide and 68 miles long, including four Kreise, namely: Prum, Bitburg, Trierland and Saarburg with the Luxemburg border (60 miles long) on the west.
Ever sinee the Division was organized at CAMP FUNSTON, KANSAS, General Wood and General Winn, the Division Commanders, have insisted upon an active athletic poliey with the result that all branches of athleties have been partieipated in thruout the year by all members of the Command.
In addition to the above, Division football, base- ball, traek and other teams have always been in com- petition and rated high in comparison with other divisions.
The full benefit of this poliey was realized and appreciated by the Division when on March 29, 1919, the 89th AMERICAN DIVISION Football Team WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE AMERICAN
EXPEDITIONARY FORCES by defeating the 36th American Division, First Army Football Team by the seore of 14 to 6 at Paris, France.
Prior to this, the team had defeated teams of all its opponents in the Army of Oeeupation in Germany and of the First Army and S. O. S. in Paris.
The Division Commanders, in addition to insisting upon and advoeating a strong athletic policy, also maintained at all times an active and efficient eduea- tional poliey, both for training men for commissions as offieers (the Third Officer's Training Camp at CAMP FUNSTON was rated one of the best at any of the army eamps in the United States) and for primary education, trades and professions. The foundations of this system were seen in Germany where the following sehools were in operation:
1. Primary school.
2. Liberal Arts school.
3. Agricultural school.
4. Engineering school.
5. Trade sehool.
In August, 1918, when the 89th American Di- vision went into the line, it was found that some means of identifying individuals and baggage was necessary, as all possible means of identification had been removed. It was at this time that the sleeve insignia, designed by Col. John C. H. Lee, Chief of Staff, and deseribed below, was first won.
The sleeve insignia is a "Blaek 'W' in a Black Cirele." It was selected after careful consideration and has a meaning which is as follows:
The Division comes from the Middle West and its insignia indicates its Western origin and all around efficieney; inverted, it indicates the Middle part of the name; on its side, it indicates "Sigma," the symbol of summation-that is, co-ordination or single effort. Moreover, the eirele is that geometrieal figure which ean come to stability in any position, yet move rapidly in answer to a change of forces. In the lower part of the "W" is placed the color of the branch of the service, such as blue for Infantry, ete.
