The 163rd Infantry was a part of the 41st Division, which was originally the National Guard from the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. Called up for service, the 41st Division was formed and trained at Camp Greene, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Upon reaching France in February, 1918, the Division received a great disappointment when its members learned that it was to be broken up to provide replacements for other divisions. Much of the infantry strength of the 41st Division went to the 1st, 2nd, 32nd and 42nd Divisions. The 41st Division and its subunits, including the 163rd Infantry, saw no action in WWI as intact units.

In July 1918, Company C of the 304th Infantry Regiment, part of the 76th Infantry Division, was stationed in the region of Eastern France, specifically in the area around the town of Baccarat. The unit was preparing for potential combat operations as World War I intensified, and they were engaged in training and acclimatization activities in this region. The 76th Division was eventually called to the front lines later that year.
Well, a runner in the infantry during World War 2 was a brave individual tasked with carrying messages between different units on the battlefield. They had to be quick on their feet and have a strong sense of duty to ensure important information was delivered accurately and swiftly. These runners played a vital role in communication during a time of great challenge and danger.
