The write-up looks like a verbatim lift from http://www.history.army.mil/lineage/cc/103id.htm and could use re-write/paraphasing. That web page is a reproduction of part of a U S Army report, as noted at the bottom of that web page: These combat chronicles, current as of October 1948, are reproduced from The Army Almanac: A Book of Facts Concerning the Army of the United States, U.S. Government Printing Office, 1950, pp. 510-592. I believe I have a copy of the division's book, Report after Action, The Story of the 103d Infantry Division; by Ralph Mueller and Jerry Turk, unit historians; Wagner'sche Universitats-Buchdruckerie, Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria; distributor, The Infantry Journal, Washington 6, D. C. I will look for it and, if I can locate it, help with the re-write and sourcing. Glane23 (talk) 20:52, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
