All Quiet—Then It
Happened to 106th!
1 The 106 th Infantry (Golden
Lion) Division arrived in Europe
from the United States in mid-
December, moved up to the front
and, because it was a green unit
without pre-
vious combat
experience, was
assigned to a
relatively quiet
sector in the Ar-
dennes. -'
■ Then it hap-
pened. Von
Ruridstedt’s mighty’ winter coun-
ter-offensive exploded, and the
focal paint of the attack —the
heaviest weight of German arms
—was directed precisely at that
“quiet” sector where the Golden
Lions wdre stationed.
■ In the foggy dawn of Dec. 16,
the German attack jumped off
with a tremendous artillery bar-
rage. This was followed by en-
emy tanks ahd; infantry arid, along
with them, Geimaft- soldiers d l s-
guised as American'-MP’s, to create
confusion.
The 106th fought back desper-
ately against the fury of the Nazi
juggernaut for two hellish days.
The 422nd and 423rd infantry reg-
iments held out against over-
whelming numbers, •'despite lack of
food, water and ammunition. Fi-
nally, their radios were silent. The
remaining Golden Lion regiment,
the 424th, clung grimly to its po-
sition near St. Vith, preventing the
Germans from taking that vital
communications center, ~
When the 106th’s casualties
were added up, the division had
lost 8663 nien, of whom some 7000
were prisoners.
Later, the Golden Lion outfit
returned to battle, its ranks com-
posed almost. entirely of replace-
ments, and gave a good account of
itself-. When the War ended, the
division was assigned- to the Con-
trol- of 16 • brisOner-bf-War camps
with almost a million inhabitants.
Ardennes hhd been avenged. -

Protect those precious eyes. They
are her most valued possession. When
children do homework see to it'that the
gloom of darkness vanished with liberal
use of electric light. Proper lighting—with*
out shadow or glare —illuminates evenly,
whether for work or reading.... With elec-
tricity so cheap, never be without GOOD
light whenever you use your ey|s. HH
€11 THE MOST OUT OF YOUR LAMPS: ..
Keep bulbs, reflector bulbs and shades free
from dust. Use the right size bulb in each
lamp. Place lamps to furnish ilhimma-
Mion directly on your reading or work.
