Summary	"So, from Pont-a-Mousson through Luxembourg, over the bloody ground of the Ardennes Bulge, through Liege to Tongeren, in Belgium. Some by train and some by truck, the division moved into place behind the Ninth Army. Passes to Brussels and Liege--'Ja, ja' instead of 'Oui, oui.' And on May 9, 'Victory in Europe Day, ' the 79th Division was engaged in government of more than 1000 square miles of the industrial Ruhr Valley. Each man was filled with pride in his combat record and confident in the future."
