Here is my copy of the First Division World War I unit history, one of the better divisional histories that I’ve seen. I also have the packet of maps that came with it. At first I was puzzled and annoyed by the “L 4” stickers on the spine. But after researching the name on the inside front free endpapers I was pleased. Cass Gilbert was the famous American architect who designed many wonderful buildings and the First Division monument in Washington, DC. Cass Gilbert, Jr, was also a well known architect who designed the WWII addition to his father’s design. I don’t know whether Gilbert owned this or if he gave it as a gift, but it’s an interesting association copy.
