14th

(Tab is a Copy)
14th Armored Division:
The Liberator Division.

The 14th Armored Division was activated on November 15th, 1942,
with Headquarters at Camp Chaffee, Arkansas. Elements of the
Division were called upon to save lives and property in May of
1943 during a terrible flood along the Arkansas River. After
participating in the 1943-1944 Tennesse maneuvers, the Division
had one change of station to Camp Campbell, Kentucky, before
embarking for the European Theater in October of 1944.

During two campaigns and 167 days of combat, the men of the
Liberator Division had freed an estimated 200,000 Allied
prisoners of war and an additional 250,000 slave laborers and
displaced persons with a loss of 2,690 killed and wounded.
The 14th Armored Division's nickname as the "Liberator Division"
was well-earned and appropriate.

Campaigns:
World War II
(Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, Central Europe).
