Chaplain Bill Boice landed on D-Day, 6 June 1944, with the 22nd Infantry Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division and served with them as they fought across France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany until V-E Day on 8 May 1945. He was there for the D-Day invasion, the hedgerow fighting, the taking of the port at Cherbourg, the St. Lo breakout, the liberation of Paris, the crossing of the Siegfried Line, the bloody fight in the Hurtgen Forest, the Battle of the Bulge, and the final drive across Germany in the early months of 1945. On the ship returning from Europe to prepare for the invasion of Japan, Chaplain Boice formed the 22nd Infantry Regiment Society, an organization that still exists today as the rallying point for veterans of the 22nd Infantry Regiment from all wars to renew their wartime bonds and preserve their stories of fighting with the 22nd Infantry Regiment. Bill Boice took it upon himself to write this history of the 22nd Infantry Regiment in World War II, completing the work in 1956, eleven years after his release from the Army. Never formally published, this book is being published during the 80th anniversary year of the 22nd Infantry Regiment's and the 4th Infantry Division's fight across Europe in WWII. All profits from the sale of this book will be used to pay for more research into the history of both the 22nd Infantry Regiment "Deeds not Words!" and the 4th Infantry Division "Steadfast and Loyal."
