The 1st Cavalry Division in World War II

An official divisional history compiled by Major B. C. Wright, serving as Division Historian, documenting the operations of the 1st Cavalry Division during World War II. Notably printed in Occupied Japan by the Toppan Printing Company in Tokyo, this work reflects the immediate postwar occupation period and the U.S. Army’s efforts to preserve combat records. The volume details campaigns in the Pacific Theater, including the Philippines, along with organizational structure, command decisions, and troop movements. As an occupation-era imprint, it carries additional historical significance tied to early U.S.–Japan postwar relations. A scarce and desirable primary source for cavalry-to-infantry transition studies in WWII. Spine, cover has some tears (front top on spine has 1 inch tear) visible with the photos.
