92nd Infantry Division - Buffalo Soldiers
The 92nd Infantry Division (92nd Division, WWI) was an African-American infantry division of the United States Army that served in both World War I and World War II. The military was then segregated. The division was organized in October 1917, after the U.S. entry into World War I, at Camp Funston, Kansas, with African-American soldiers from all states. In 1918, before leaving for France, the American buffalo was selected as the divisional insignia due to the "Buffalo Soldiers" nickname, given to African-American cavalrymen in the 19th century. The divisional nickname, "Buffalo Soldiers Division", was inherited from the 366th Infantry, one of the first units organized in the division.
World War I Service - Fighting in France
During World War I, the 92nd Infantry Division deployed to France and fought on the Western Front. The division's soldiers faced not only the dangers of combat but also the challenges of serving in a segregated military where they were often given inferior equipment and faced discrimination from their own army. Despite these obstacles, the Buffalo Soldiers of the 92nd Division fought with courage and determination.
The division participated in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, one of the largest and bloodiest battles in American military history. Buffalo Soldiers fought in the trenches, conducted attacks against German positions, and demonstrated that African American soldiers could fight as effectively as any other troops when given the opportunity.
World War II - Italian Campaign
The 92nd Infantry Division was reactivated for World War II and deployed to Italy, where it fought in the Italian Campaign. The division fought in the difficult mountain terrain of northern Italy, conducting operations against German forces in some of the war's most challenging conditions.
The Buffalo Soldiers of the 92nd Division faced enemy fire, harsh weather, and difficult terrain while continuing to face discrimination and segregation within their own army. Despite these challenges, they fought with courage and professionalism, earning battle honors and demonstrating the capabilities of African American soldiers.
Legacy of Service and Sacrifice
The 92nd Infantry Division's service in two world wars helped pave the way for the integration of the U.S. military. The courage and sacrifice of the Buffalo Soldiers demonstrated that African American soldiers deserved equal treatment and opportunity. Their service contributed to the eventual desegregation of the military in 1948 and the civil rights movement that followed.
