The 27th Infantry Division was a unit of the Army National Guard in World War I and World War II. The division traces its history from the New York Division, formed originally in 1908. The 6th Division designation was changed to the 27th Division in July 1917. When the New York Division was organized in 1908, the New York National Guard became the second state, after Pennsylvania, to structure its National Guard at such a high tactical level in peacetime.〔National Guard Education Foundation〕 The New York Division was called to active duty during the Mexican border crisis of 1916. While on federal duty, it was redesignated as the 6th Division in June 1916. It was released from active duty in December 1916, only to be recalled for World War I service in July 1917. The 6th Division was reorganized and redesignated as the 27th Division on 1 October 1917.〔However, the Combat Chronicles give the date of the redesignation as the 27th as 20 July 1917.〕 == World War I == The New York 27th Division was one of only three divisions formed up entirely from a single state National Guard, the other two being Illinois and Pennsylvania. However, not all New Yorkers served in the 27th.〔 〕 Its initial Strength was 991 officers and 27,114 enlisted men. *Casualties: Total 8,334 (KIA: 1,442; WIA: 6,892). * Inactivated: April 1919. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「27th Infantry Division (United States)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
