Sam Magill facilitated the mass surrender of 20,000 German troops on the banks of the Loire River on September 17, 1944.  Brigadier General John Mauldin was the regimental surgeon during World War II. He took more than 400 photographs between the time the unit landed in England eight days after D-Day until Germany was liberated in 1946.
