I have complete histories of both the 320th Infantry Regiment as well as the 35th Infantry Division. Please contact me with any questions that you may have. Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections.com I'm sorry for the delay but I appreciate any information on Company A of the 35th Division, 1st Battalion, 320th Infantry. I have the booklets that were given to my grandfather right after WWII, about the histories of the 35th Division and one on the history of the 320th Infantry. What I am looking for is something with names in it. I would love to find like a list of survivors with my grandfathers name in it. Or any kind of war documentation that has his name, Pfc. Jessie Lee McKay, in it. He was drafted out of Fayette, Alabama and made a great life for himself after going thru the horror that WWII had to give. But where are his and all the other survivors stories? Where is it written what the survivors contributions were? Where are the survivors names written to be remembered?

There were only two all-black Infantry Divisions in WW2: 91st and 92nd Division. There were some independent infantry regiments and other support troops, including a tank battalion. The 320th Anti-aircraft Artillery Balloon Barrage Battalion was an all-black unit that landed on D-Day.

This is the most famous black unit in France. The 3275th Quartermaster Service Company landed on Omaha Beach but I'm not sure if it was the first day, as supply units may not have arrived that soon. In conclusion, I would say there were NO all-black infantry regiments that landed on D-Day on 6 June.
It is the 16th of November in an ordinary year and the 15th of November in a leap year.
If the numbers indicated run along the SAME line and it is a US mess kit, they should mean: Company "C", 320th Regiment, 137th Division. If the Co C is on the first line and "320 137" on the next line (or somewhere else) it might mean an inventory number. However, "Co C" is Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for US Army/US Marine "Company C."
