Ah, in Africa, we had brave soldiers from various infantry divisions fighting with courage and determination. Divisions like the British 7th Armoured Division, also known as the "Desert Rats," and the US 1st Infantry Division, known as the "Big Red One," played vital roles in the North African campaign during World War II. Their resilience and teamwork in challenging conditions helped to secure important victories in the desert sands.

What is the difference in an Amored Infantry Division and an Infantry Division particularly during World War 2?
For WW2: Armored Infantry Divisions were equiped with half-tracks. Regular Infantry Divisions walked (or trucked). During the Vietnam War those Armored Infantry Divisions gave way to the new MECHANIZED INFANTRY DIVISIONS, equipped with M-113 APC/ACAV (Armored Personnel Carriers/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicles). Only one US Army Mechanized Infantry Division was in Vietnam (and only it's 1st Brigade); the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division (Red Diamond Patch). Regular Infantry Divisions in Vietnam were called "Straight Legs", "Straight" meaning...straight foot soldiering.

What killed most Americans in World War 1?
The Germans, by a very wide margin. 85% of the US war effort was directed against Germany, until Germany was defeated. The Pacific War was fought on a shoestring, mainly by the US Navy, the Navy's Marine Corps, which grew to six infantry divisions, and about fifteen army infantry divisions. Everything else was against the Germans. The Italians also killed a very small percentage of those lost, and the French an even smaller number. The Vichy French were a German ally and fought the US for three or four days after the landings in North Africa in November 1942. Nobody really had their heart in it though, and soon the French came over to our side.

The 4th Texas Infantry Regiment was not a unit in WW2. The divisions and regiments were not associated with a State in the name of the unit. Instead, the 4th Texas Infantry Regiment fought in the American Civil War (1861-1865) on the side of the Confederates States. It was made up of men from Texas. I think it served in General Hood's Texas Brigade that fought with distinction in Virginia.

Who were the 93rd Infantry Division?
The 92nd and the 93rd Infantry Divisions were units made up of black troops with white officers. The 92nd ID fought in Italy in WWII. Near the end of the war black troops were sometimes assigned to other infantry divisions. Volunteers from black non-combat units, and from black non-infantry combat units, were called for. Some men took a demotion to volunteer to serve as privates in the infantry. The army was desperately short of infantry replacements. These new infantrymen were sometimes formed into platoons and attached as a "fourth platoon" to all-white infantry companies, and sometimes used as individual replacements. Before that time though, all black foot soldiers were in either the 92nd or 93rd IDs. Both also served in WWI.
