€175.00
175th Infantry Regiment (29th Division) screwback DI. It is unmarked. The 175th, the 29th Division's reserve, landed on the still unsecured Omaha Beach on the morning of 7 June, and proceeded to its objective to seize the village of Isigny sur Mer. It pushed through Isigny and crossed the Vire River and on to St-Lô. The 175th fought stiff German resistance hedge row by hedge row. The 1st Battalion, 175th Infantry pushed the American lines to within three miles of St Lo, creating a salient into the German lines. The unit defended the high ground, known as Hill 108 but nicknamed "Purple Heart Hill" as they were surrounded on three sides. This is a hard fo find DI from a crack unit that saw a lot of action. Very good condition.
