What is the difference in an Amored Infantry Division and an Infantry Division particularly during World War 2?
For WW2: Armored Infantry Divisions were equiped with half-tracks. Regular Infantry Divisions walked (or trucked). During the Vietnam War those Armored Infantry Divisions gave way to the new MECHANIZED INFANTRY DIVISIONS, equipped with M-113 APC/ACAV (Armored Personnel Carriers/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicles). Only one US Army Mechanized Infantry Division was in Vietnam (and only it's 1st Brigade); the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division (Red Diamond Patch). Regular Infantry Divisions in Vietnam were called "Straight Legs", "Straight" meaning...straight foot soldiering.

What killed most Americans in World War 1?
The Germans, by a very wide margin. 85% of the US war effort was directed against Germany, until Germany was defeated. The Pacific War was fought on a shoestring, mainly by the US Navy, the Navy's Marine Corps, which grew to six infantry divisions, and about fifteen army infantry divisions. Everything else was against the Germans. The Italians also killed a very small percentage of those lost, and the French an even smaller number. The Vichy French were a German ally and fought the US for three or four days after the landings in North Africa in November 1942. Nobody really had their heart in it though, and soon the French came over to our side.

What was Company C351 Infantry in World War 1?
Company C 351st Infantry was one of the four companies in the 1st Battalion of the 351st Regiment of Infantry. The 351st Infantry was one of four regiments in the 88th Division. WWI US divisions were huge, around 28,000 men. This was more than twice as large as those of any other nation. Low-numbered divisions, 25 and below, were Regular Army divisions; those numbered 26-50 were National Guard divisions called into Federal service; divisions numbered 76 and up were so-called "National Army" divisions. These latter divisions, according to the army's mobilization plan, were to be made up mostly of draftees. The men were assigned to National Army divisions on a geographic basis, so they were all from a particular state or region, like the National Guard divisions. The 88th Division included draftees from North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois. The 88th Division did not begin arriving in France until about September 7, 1918. New divisions were given training in trench warfare once they arrived in France and then introduced to the front lines by small sub-units. The 88th Division arrived too late to see action as a division and suffered only a handful of casualties. In WWII the division was reactivated and fought in Italy.

What is the fourth Texas infantry regiment?
The 4th Texas Infantry Regiment was not a unit in WW2. The divisions and regiments were not associated with a State in the name of the unit. Instead, the 4th Texas Infantry Regiment fought in the American Civil War (1861-1865) on the side of the Confederates States. It was made up of men from Texas. I think it served in General Hood's Texas Brigade that fought with distinction in Virginia.

Who were the 93rd Infantry Division?
The 92nd and the 93rd Infantry Divisions were units made up of black troops with white officers. The 92nd ID fought in Italy in WWII. Near the end of the war black troops were sometimes assigned to other infantry divisions. Volunteers from black non-combat units, and from black non-infantry combat units, were called for. Some men took a demotion to volunteer to serve as privates in the infantry. The army was desperately short of infantry replacements. These new infantrymen were sometimes formed into platoons and attached as a "fourth platoon" to all-white infantry companies, and sometimes used as individual replacements. Before that time though, all black foot soldiers were in either the 92nd or 93rd IDs. Both also served in WWI.
