My Uncle, Virgil W. Duvall, served with the 406 Inf, 102 Inf Div, Co. B and was KIA 4 Nov 1944. He was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star, along with others. I'm known as the "family historian" and am researching all that I can for more information. Thank you for this site! It warms my heart to see this!

Hello! I’m glad to see a very informative website for all of the member/family/friends of the 102nd ID I’m reaching out because I’m trying to find any and all information photos stories whatever you can provide of the 407th Infantry F Company. Thank you very much if you can help! And if you have served in the 407th and/or knew someone from F Company than please contact me.

The 102st was re-activated in Sept, 1942, at Camp Maxey, Texas. The first commanding officer was Major General John B. Anderson. He took the division through its training, culminating in the Louisiana Manuvers in the autumn of 1944. Shortly thereafter, he was assigned the first commanding officer of the XVI Corps, leaving command of the 102nd to General Keaton. The 102nd served in the XIII Corps, alongside the XVI, in the US Ninth Army in Europe. Many Ozark officers visited General Anderson during the winter and spring of 1945. Stan Matthews wooed, and lost, the hand of General Anderson's daughter. Alonzo Fox is credited with much of the Division's success in the field. A biography of General Anderson will be published by Koehler Books in the spring 2018, written by his grandson who had access to previously unpublished letters and articles. The history of the 102nd in WWII started in Texas and ended at the Elbe. All that history and more is in the new book. Look for it.
