U.S. Army National Guard Soldiers assigned to the 165th Infantry Regimental Band approach a square in a town along the Rhine River in Germany during their march into Germany for occupation duties in December 1918. The 165th Infantry was renamed from the New York National Guard’s 69th Infantry Regiment, based in New York City and comprised mainly of Soldiers from Irish lineage. The 42nd Division, known as the Rainbow Division for its inclusion of various National Guard units from across the United States, served as an occupation force following the armistice that ended World War I. The division served in Germany until April 1, 1919 when it embarked for its journey home. Courtesy photo from the International Film Service.
