Regiments in the U.S. 84th Division

[gSpartan150]

Hello all! I am doing some research on the WWI Veterans in my family but I lost some important papers. The papers lost included the information on the regiment my great-great-(great)-uncle was in. I know he was in the 84th U.S. division, but I'm not sure what regiment. I'll know when I see it, though. If anyone could post the regiments in the 84th Division I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks in advance,

~Garrett

Artillery was detached from the div for most of the time in France

Arrived in Le Havre via Liverpool on Sept 25 1918

If your relative saw action it was probably with another Division as the 84 was skeletonized on Oct 3rd 1918 and on Oct 9th about 10,000 men were transferred to 1 Div Depot as replacements.

Hello,

I have just started a new thread, enquiring about the Signal Corps 84th Division. I hope those who answered this thread might be able to share their knowledge on that one:

My Great Uncle was in the 84th Division and transferred to Div 1. I am trying to find any kind of a paper trail for those transfers. When he was transferred to Div. #1, his name was left off the roster which led to great confusion over his death. It took 4 months for his family to find out what happened to him. I was interested in the earlier post by 4thGordons who seemed to know exactly when the division was split to pieces....

I have also been told my Great Uncle billeted and trained at Mussidan when he first arrived in France. This would have been while he was with the 84th Div. 335th Infantry. does anyone have

information on the training camps or know where I can find such information?

Thanks!

The Division arrived in France in September and on Sept 13th moved to the W. Perigueux area for training.

On Sept 28th the Divisional HQ was at Neuvic (Dordogne) which is just SW of Perigueux

On Oct 3rd the Division was ordered to be Skeletonized and on Oct 9th 10,000 men were transferred to the 1st Depot Division for use as replacements. (leaving the original units with a notional strength of 25 men each)
