The 104th Division—a new. World War II division
■ formed solely to fijjht—will be activated at Camp Adair on
w Tuesday. Sept. 15. with exercises so short Utat the ceremony
■will scarcely cause any break in the division’s preparations
for action in this war.
Simple, although impressive, will be this first formal
B*vent in the history of what probably will be known as the
Frontier division. It will consist of men from all parts of the
Kl'nited States. They will be trained to fight with the fierce-
pness of the timber wolf, that formidable beast being a di-
i visional pet. as is indicated by the shoulder patch.
