Binding is sound. x, 250 pages illustrations, maps 24 cm. . . . . . . The 129th Infantry Regiment, an Illinois National Guard unit, was federalized on 5 March 1941 at Sycamore, Illinois, and initially assigned to the 33rd Infantry Division for stateside training before Pacific deployment. In 1943 it was detached to garrison Espíritu Santo in the New Hebrides and then assigned to the 37th Infantry Division, whose ranks had become nationally mixed by 1945. The regiment landed on Bougainville on 13 November 1943, helped hold a defensive perimeter, and in March 1944 played a key role in defeating a major assault by Japan?s elite 6th Imperial Division, inflicting over 7,000 enemy dead in 17 days of fighting. During the Philippines campaign, the 129th landed at Lingayen Gulf on 9 January 1945, advanced through Clark Field and Fort Stotsenburg, and fought nearly a month of brutal street?to?street combat in Manila; some elements also operated from PT boats in Manila harbor against remaining Japanese positions. Later detached to support the 33rd Division, the regiment moved into northwestern Luzon, rejoined the 37th, and helped capture Baguio on 26 April 1945 before pushing into the Cagayan Valley to break the last major Japanese resistance on the island. The division?s commander accepted General Tomoyuki Yamashita?s surrender on 2 September 1945, and the 129th was inactivated on 13 December 1945 at Camp Anza, California, with campaign credits in the Northern Solomons and the Philippines and a Philippine Presidential Unit Citation.
