World War I

The 1st Infantry Division, literally America’s first division, was formed during World War I. As you begin your tour of this gallery, you’ll discover how the war began in 1914, engulfing much of Europe in devastating turmoil as nations mobilized for what most thought would be a quick war but instead turned into a long and grueling conflict.
