How do you find a soldier in the seventh Infantry Company B?
ClarificationInstead of 7th Infantry Company, you probably mean 7th Infantry Regiment. Soldiers usually referred to their regiment or occassionally their Division. The discharge papers usually refer to the veteran's regiment. During WW2, the typical Infantry Division consisted of 3 Infantry Regiments and 4 artillery battalions and an engineer battalion and other supporting companies. Each Regiment consisted of 12 companies divided into 3 Battalions as follows:1st Battalion - Companies A, B, C, D2nd Battalion - Companies E, F, G, H and3rd Battalion - Companies I, K, L, M (no J).So, the term "7th Infantry Company" is not correct. A soldier would refer to his unit as:"Company B, 7th Infantry Regiment"If the soldier was talking to another soldier within the same division or location, he might shorten it to say: "7th Infantry, Company B". Here he implies a regiment and the comma(,) seperates the two levels of command. So your Question is not really Incorrect, but it needed some clarification for some readers.Also, Company B was in the 1st Battalion, so any reference to "1st Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment" would include his company. The Battalion was commanded by a Colonel and is the basic unit used in combat. So many histories will refer to the battalions and not the companies.AnswerThe 7th Infantry Regiment was part of the 3rd Infantry Division. This unit saw combat in Italy and fought at Anzio until July 1944 and then landed in Southern France in Aug 1944. There is a unit history on the 3rd Infantry Division that was printed in 1947 or so. Recently, it has been re-printed by Battery Press. It is a very large book and it is unique to most unit histories in that it contains an extensive roster of the soldiers who served in this unit. I would recommend that you contact your library and ask for an inter-library loan for this book. This book may have his name in it.The 7th Infantry Regiment were known as the "Cotton Balers". This unit is a descendant of a unit that fought at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812 and they used cotton bales to fortify their position.I wouldn't mind looking through it for your soldier's name.CustermenReference: "History of the 3rd Infantry Division in WW2" by Donald G.

What is the difference between army brigades and regiments?
Three regiments make a division, thus, a division is three times the size of a regiment. However in the US Army. A Regiment was a sub-unit of a Division. During WW1 the Infantry Division consisted of 4 Infantry Regiments, divided into 2 Brigades. Thus a Division contained two Brigades and each Brigade contained 2 Regiments plus there were 2 Artillery Brigades of 2 artillery Battalions. At the beginning of WW2, the US Army wanted to reduce the size of its Infantry Division so they were more maneuverable on the battle field. The Brigades command level was eliminated and 1 Infantry Regiment was deleted. So an Infantry Division contained 3 Infantry Regiments and 3 Artillery Battalion(later increased back to 4) and an Engineer Battalion and support units of Medical, QuarterMaster, and other units. The size of the Infantry Division was about 15,000 men. However, since the support units that were not part of the Regiments, that means the Regiment was NOT 1/3 the size of the Division. The Regiments contained about 3,000 men. Each Regiment contained 12 Rifle Companies, identified by Letters A thru M(excluding "J"). The Regiments were grouped into 3 Battalions. So 1st Battalion(as it was called) contained Companies A, B, C & D, where the fourth one, Company D, was a heavy weapons company that supported the other three. A company contained 250 men. There were other support units and a Headquarters Company attached to each Battalion of the Regiment. An Airborne Division was organized very similar to the infantry division except it only had 9 companies per Regiment and the total size was 9,000 men. See Link with simple diagrams that explain the Organization of the US Army Division.
