The Division traces its history from the 6th Division, made up of New York units and formed in May 1917. The 6th Division designation was changed to the 27th Division in July 1917.
The 27th broke the Hindenburg line during the Battle of the Somme and forced a German retreat from their defensive line and forced the Germans to a final confrontation at the Selle River. The Armistice ended the fighting and the division was sent home in February 1919.
Suitable for hand painting only.
