Excerpt from The Story of the 91st Division
The 91st Division has been singularly fortunate. It was among the first to be formed in America; it was sent to France in time to be one of the units composing the First American Army, and, as such, was held in reserve at Saint-Mihiel and took part in the battle of the Meuse-Argonne.
While with the Group of Armies in Flanders it participated in the Ypres-Lys offensive; the armistice found the Division still in the front line approaching Brussels.
There were many fine divisions which never had the opportunity of getting into action. It is the realization of this that makes us appreciate the good fortune that was ours.
We hope that we can justly feel that we gave all and the best that was in us, while we appreciate that troops which served in the Service of Supply contributed as much to the success of the American Expeditionary Forces as did the troops in the Zone of the Advance.
