In honor of the 3rd Infantry Division's 103rd birthday on November 21, the 3rd Infantry Division Band recorded a revamped version of the division's "Dogface Soldier" song. The 3rd Infantry Division was activated at Camp Greene, North Carolina, on November 21, 1917. During World War I, as a member of the American Expeditionary Force to Europe the division earned its name as the "Rock of the Marne," when surrounding units retreated, the 3rd Infantry Division remained. Headquartered at Fort Stewart

Let's get to know our 3ID history... Back in 1942, Lt. Hart and Cpl. Bert Gold whipped up a song that was so low-profile it might’ve vanished if not for a lucky break. “The Dogface Soldier” became a hit with the troops, General Truscott, and even the locals. Fast forward to its Hollywood debut in Audie Murphy’s “To Hell and Back,” and suddenly, 300,000 copies were sold! Proof that sometimes the best songs come from the most unexpected places😎 #ROTM #3id #3idband #DogfaceSoldier #MilitaryMusic #
