On the Way: The Story of the 94th Infantry Division"; a small booklet covering the history of
the 94th Infantry Division. This booklet is one of the series of G.I Stories
published by the Stars & Stripes in Paris in 1944-1945.

This is one of a series of G.I. Stories of the Ground, Air and Service Forces in the European
Theater of Operations, issued by the Orientation Section, Information and Education Division,
ETOUSA... Major General Harry J. Malony, commanding the 94th Infantry Division,
lent his cooperation, and basic material was supplied by his staff.
To the men of the 94th Infantry Division: This short history of the division is little more than a record of the fighting which you men have done since arriving in Europe. It can only imply the many brave deeds performed, makes no reference to hardships patiently endured and can only hint of the magnificent fighting spirit which has carried you through the toughest battles of the Western Front.
It is my prejudiced but well-founded belief that the three actions of smashing the Siegfried Switch Line — clearing the Saar-Moselle Triangle which culminated in the capture of Trier — forcing the Saar River bridgehead, and the 10-day drive to the Rhine were the outstanding actions of Third Army's advance to the Rhine.
I congratulate you on the record you have established. The road to victory has been considerably shortened by your proved fighting capabilities and the will to win.
