Document Overview:
Compiled by the regiment at the close of World War II and printed in Gerabronn, Germany, by M. Ruckert’s Buchdruckerei, this “Spearhead Doughboys” Directory (1st Edition, November 1945) opens with a message from Lt. Col. William R. Orr, the regiment’s commanding officer, proposing a Spearhead Doughboy veterans association and an educational and welfare fund for the families of fallen comrades. It then lists the officers by rank and the enlisted men of every company — Regimental Headquarters, Service Company, the Medical Detachment, the three battalion headquarters companies, and Companies A through I — with ranks and home addresses, followed by an extensive In Memoriam roll of the regiment’s dead with company and hometown. This is a digital download of a scanned copy of the original directory.
