Excerpt from 600 Days Service: A History of the 361st Infantry Regiment of the United States Army
Under orders from First Army, the 91st Division will be relieved from the front line to-night and placed in Corps Reserve.
The Corps Commander wishes you to understand that this relief results solely from a realization by higher command that your Division has done its full share in the recent success, and is entitled to a rest for reorganization. This especially as during the past three days it has incurred heavy casualties when circumstances would not permit either advance or withdrawal.
At a time when the divisions on its flanks were faltering and even falling back, the Ninety-First pushed ahead and steadfastly clung to every yard gained.
In its initial performance, your Division has established itself firmly on the list of the Commander-in-chief"s reliable fighting units. Please extend to your officers and men my appreciation of their splendid behavior and my hearty congratulations on the brilliant record they have made.
