Rated Best Known of All.

Probably the best known division of
all is the Rainbow Division the Off
cial designation of which is the AID
Division. That division was among
the first to go across the pond. and its
record covers fierce fighting and cam
paigning across France to Coblenz on
the Rhine. 1t was named the Rain
bow Division" because of it's repre-
sentative character. being composed
of troops from most of the states of
the Union and the District of Column
bia.
Other divisions to which troops
from the District of Columbia are at
tached have names by which they are
better known than by their official
numbers. For instance, the 41st Di-
vision, which includes the former Sd
Infantry of the District National
Guard, is popularity known as the
Sunset Division" That designation
is due to the fact that 1t is composed
mainly of troops from the farwestern
states of Oregon. Washington, Mon
tana, Idaho, Wyoming and North Da-
kOta.

That propensity has been manifested
generally with respect to the various
Army divisions which fought the
great fight for democracy on the his

All these gallant divisions officially
are numbered intermittently from one
to ninety-three, but in most cases
they are better known by other desig-
nations adopted by the soldiers them
selves. That applies more particularly
to the divisions composed of national
guardsmen or of select draft men
from the same state or section. They
usually selected some name of local
significance. The divisions composed
of regular troops are an exception to
the rule, those organizations being OF
more cosmopolitan character. AL
though the divisional numbers run as
high as ninety-three they are not con-

the fact that there are but forty divi-
