44 Southwestern Historical Quarterly
Division and return to the States. The enlisted men asked permission
to stage a farewell division review in my honor, which I granted.
Standing before the Division in formation prior to that review, I ad-
dressed the men who had made it great. I praised their successes at
Salerno, on the "Winter Line," and at Velletri. I praised them, also,
for their courageous effort at the Rapido River. As I watched the
troops march by, I thought of their deeds of valor, their hardships in
battle, the sacrifices of their dead, their loyalty to their Division and
to me. Visions of successes that would come to them in the days ahead
flashed through my mind. It was a sad day for me. I shall always regret
that I had to leave them.
The 36th was a great fighting Division and its subsequent successful
campaigns under the command of Major General John E. Dahlquist
brought it additional honors.
