The Montana Military Museum is excited to share a new article by noted author and Museum volunteer COL John Driscoll (Ret.) on the actions of Montana’s National Guard 163rd Infantry Regimental Combat Team in the Battle of Sanananda.
Driscoll’s article identifies several Montanans who participated in this battle under hellish conditions in Papua, New Guinea. It is fitting after the celebrations of Memorial Day that we remember these heroes who have largely been unsung. Driscoll, a noted author of military history, has been researching the records of the 163rd archived in the Museum. It will appear in the fall/winter issue of the magazine Distinctly Montana.
