The Men
of Company I
Part
of the 168th Infantry of the "Rainbow Divison"
Iowa Guard units sent into the service were all efficient, but
it so happened that only one of them, the Third Iowa Infantry
(168th U.S. Infantry) experienced any battle field service.
This regiment was a part of the 42nd or Rainbow, division, and
was a composite organization, composed of the third and parts
of the First and Second Infantry regiments. Three-fifths of
the enlisted men of the Third, when it left Iowa, had been for
some time in the ranks of this regiment. Two-fifths were
Guardsmen, transferred from the First and Second Regiments. As
a result it was truly a representative Iowa National Guard
unit, and its brilliant achievements on the battle fields
reflects credit upon the National Guard as a whole.
THIRD INFANTRY
Fifteen companies, Colonel Ernest R. Bennett, commanding
Headquarters, Des Moines.
