A typed copy of a commendation to the 104th (Timberwolf) Infantry Division, June 1, 1945, from the Commander in Chief of the VII Army Corps, J. Lawton Collins, praising the work of the Timberwolves in bringing about the defeat of Germany.
“The 104th Infantry Division was one of the mainstays of the VII Corps during the severe fighting that carried us from the Aachen-Stolberg area to the Roer River and from the Roer to the Rhine, culminating in the capture of Cologne…With great skill and boldness the 104th Division…held off the enemy’s vicious counter-attacks aimed at cutting the VII Corps line of communication…With its first engagement in the Eschweiller-Weisweiller area last November the 104th division quickly took its place as one of the finest assault divisions that has been with the VII Corps…”
At the conclusion is a typed message signed by division commander Maj. Gen. Terry Allen, forwarding this as a tribute to his men, and ending his message with “Nothing in Hell Must Stop the Timberwolves.”
Included are an 8 by 10 inch black and white photograph showing Allen with some of his men, and a Time Magazine for Aug. 9, 1943, with a photograph of Allen on the front cover. Allen (1888-1969) first led the 1st Division (Big Red One) but his tendency for lack of discipline led Eisenhower to remove him. Restored to command with the Timberwolves by Gen. George C. Marshall, Allen led them to numerous victories, retiring the year after the war.
