36th Troops in Review for Standing in front of troops of the 36th Division, General Fred L. Walker made his farewell address in a recent review. “I have been informed that I am to be reassigned to duty in the United States. This is a great disappointment to me for I had hoped to remain with you throughout your combat operations.” stated the General. “However, I am appreciative of the battle experiences I have had with you and the friendships I have made. I have been with you nearly three years. Your loyalty, devotion to duty, gallantry in action and pride in your division, have been all that any commander could desire. You have enthusiastically responded to every directive I have given. No one can do more than that.
I greatly regret leaving you. Where ever you go, whatever you do, you
shall always have my deepest personal interest and my very best wishes.” |
