SEATTLE, Jan. 1 4-(Special )-
Approximately 6500 members of
the 41st infantry division have
filed application for membership
in the newly-organized 41st In
fantry Division association, ac
cording to the latest figures re
leased by the division finance of
fice. Membership is expected to
climb over the 10,000 mark when
applications are filed by former
members of the division who
have returned to the Unifcd States
under the army's discharge sys
tem. Master Sergeant Frank W.
Kerr, Seattle, Wash., president of
the association, announced that in
the past two weeks more than
20,000 letters have beer sent to
these men. f
Plans for the organization were
begun while the divisionwas sta
tioned in Zamboanga Cty, Min
danao, P. I., and the membership
drive was started when jthc divi
sion arrived in Japan to take over
its share of the occupation duties.
The association has as its initial
program the compilation and pub
lication of a history of the divi
sion from the date of its entry
into federal service to 'the date
of its inactivation. The associa
tion also will maintain a -directory
service which will be available
to all members.
Upon inactivation of the divi
sion, the offices' of the association
will be moved to the United
States, probably somewhere in
the northwest since the division
was a national guard unit with
its headquarters in Salem, Ore.
It is anticipated that the history
will be completed and ready to
go to press late in 1946.
More than 10,000 decorations,
including 8000 purple hearts, were
