Description
Excerpt from Roster of the Rainbow Division Major General Wm; A. Mann Commanding
The Rainbow Division was so christened by Secretary of War Baker when he assembled the official Forty second because it represented organizations from twenty - six States of the Union, embracing a territory from coast to coast and from Maine tothe Gulf of Mexico.
In his selection, only those units which had shown marked ability making them worthy of distinction were chosen, the majority having seen actual service either in the spanish-american War or during the more recent border troubles. To be among them is an honor of which any man can justly be proud; for being so chosen is significant of the proven ability that our country appreciates. One hundred millionpeople depend upon the Rainbow Division to Old Glory to victory on the battlefields of Europe. Division is selected to be among the first to and to be America''s representatives in the struggle of the ages.
