99 Infantry Battalion (Separate) (USA)

The 99th Infantry Battalion (Separate) was actively involved throughout the war in Europe, from the time of the Normandy invasion and all the way through the defeat of the Third Reich. As a Separate Battalion, they were used where the need was most pressing, which usually meant that they were attached to various units throughout the war. Much like orphans, or “Homeless Waifs” as they ironically wrote on the Headquarters truck on above picture.
