General description of the collection: This collection contains a manuscript titled The 106th Cavalry's Story. The unit was part of the Illinois National Guard and began as the 1st Cavalry. During World War I, the unit was re-designated the 2nd Artillery and then the 122nd Field Artillery (FA) Regiment and was part of the 58th FA Brigade. The unit was back in the United States by June 1919. During the 1920's and 1930's the unit went through various reorganizations and became a mechanized squadron and eventually became the 106th Cavalry Group. In January 1942 the unit was sent to the Canal Zone, Panama and by March 1944 they had arrived in Glasgow, Scotland. The unit's World War II history has been covered in The 106th Cavalry Group in Europe, 1944-1945, written by Thomas J. Howard. After occupation duty in Austria, the unit returned to the United States and by September 1950 had been reorganized into the 106th Tank Battalion and, during the Korean War, was stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington to train replacements. In March 1959 the unit was reorganized again and called the 106th Armor. The unit went through various reorganizations and designations but was associated with the 1st Battalion, 106th Aviation as of April 2005.

In Sabers through the Reich, William Stuart Nance provides the first comprehensive operational history of American corps cavalry in the European Theater of Operations (ETO) during World War II. The corps cavalry had a substantive and direct impact on Allied success in almost every campaign, and served as offensive guards for armies across Europe, conducting reconnaissance, economy of force, and security missions, as well as prisoner of war rescues. From D-Day and Operation Cobra to the Battle of the Bulge and the drive to the Rhine, these groups had the mobility, flexibility, and firepower to move quickly across the battlefield, enabling them to aid communications and intelligence gathering, reducing the Clausewitzian "friction of war."
