Born on January 9, 1895, in Chatfield, Texas, Truscott grew up thereand in Oklahoma. From 1911 he was a teacher in various small schoolsin Oklahoma.

On the entry of the United States into World War I in 1917 he enlistedin the army, and aft.e r attending an officers' training camp in Arkansashe was commissioned a reserve second lieutenant of cavalry in Augustand commissioned in the regular cavalry and promoted to first lieutenantin October.

From 1919 to 1921 he was stationed at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii,advancing to captain in 1920, and from 1922 to 1925 he was with the1st Cavalry at Camp Douglas, Arizona. He graduated from the CavalrySchool, Fort Riley, Kansas, in.,1926 and, promoted to major, remainedthere as an instructor for five years.

In 1931-1934 he was with 3rd Cavalry at Fort Myer, Virginia. By 1936he was a lieutenant colonel, and after his graduation from the Commandand General Staff School, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, in that year heagain remained as an instructor. In September 1940 he was assignedto the 13th Armored Regiment at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and in July 1941he was attached to the staff of the IX Corps area at Fort Lewis,Washington.

Promoted to temporary colonel in December 1941, he was assigned in thelatter month to the Allied combined staff under Lord Louis Mountbatten.After studying the training methods used by British commandos, herecruited and trained a brigade of Rangers along the same lines, devel-oping a small corps of tough, highly motivated shock troops. On August19, 1942, he led his Rangers in a joint cross-Channel raid withcommandos on the French port of Dieppe, an action that cost heavycasualties and taught vital lessons in amphibious techniques.

In November, promoted to temporary major general, he led a special taskforce in the capture of Port Lyautey (now Kenitra), French Morocco,from Vichy French forces during the Allied invasion of North Africa.

After a period as field deputy to General Dwight D. Eisenhower he tookcommand of the 3rd Infantry Division in March 1943. The 3rd landedin Sicily on July 10 as part of General George S. Patton's SeventhArmy and led in the capture of Palermo and Messina. On September 18it went ashore to reinforce the Allied beachhead at Salerno, Italy.

Biographical Sketch (continued)On January 22, 1944, as part of the VI Corps under General John P.Lucas, the 3rd Division assaulted the beach at Anzio. In FebruaryTruscott succeeded Lucas in command of the VI Corps. After withstandingfurious German counterattacks the VI Corps finally broke out of theAnzio beachhead in May and drove toward Rome.

After rest and retraining, the VI Corps, then consisting of the3rd, 36th, and 45th divisions, formed part of General AlexanderM. Patch's Seventh Army in the landings at St. Tropez and St. Raphaelon the French south coast on August 15. Promoted to temporary lieutenantgeneral in September, Truscott remained with the VI Corps until December,when he returned to Italy to take command of the Fifjth Army fromGeneral Mark W. Clark. Under his command the Fifth, part Clark's15th Army Group, launched a final major attack in the spring of 1945across the Po valley, taking Bologna on April 21 and driving on untilthe German surrender of May 2. The Fifth Army was inactivated inOctober 1945 and Truscott then succeeded General Patton in commandof the Third Army in occupation duty in Bavaria. He returned to theUnited States in May 1946 and retired from the army in October 1947.

In May 1951 he was named an adviser to the U.S. high commissioner forWest Germany. In 1954 he published Command Missions, and in July ofthat year he was given an honorary promotion to general, retired, byact of Congress. Truscott died in Washington, D.C., on September 12,1965.

From Webster's American Military Biographers.

Scope and Conten~

The Lucian K. Truscott, Jr. Papers span the period 1937-1966.There are two groups of papers: personal papers and militaryrecords. The personal papers fall into several series: correspondence,financial records and related material. The military records arearranged by subgroups relating to phases of Truscott's army career:European Theater of Operations Headquarters, Third Division, VI Corps,Fifth Army, Third Army, and War Department Screening Board. Withineach of these subgroups the documents fall into several seri~s:correspondence, radio messages, operations, memoranda and relatedmaterial. Also to be found are three series of memorabilia, clippingsand photographs which are mainly military in nature.

Little about Truscott's life prior to World War II can be found inthis collection. The personal papers consist mostly of correspondencefrom 1941 to 1953. Much of this corr.espondence is between Truscottand his wife Sarah R. Truscott during the war years. Also to befound is Mrs. Truscott's personal correspondence with family andassociates (excluding Lucian K. Truscott, Jr.). In addition thereare letters of condolence written to the Truscott family on thedeath of General Truscott.

Other material in the personal papers consists of trip narrativeswritten by Mrs. Truscott in 1951 and 1952 and diaries written byboth Truscotts from 1956 to 1965. These diaries are mostly summariesof daily events with Mrs. Truscott's being more extensive than GeneralTruscott's. Financial records round out the personal papers andpertain almost exclusively to the purchase, renovation and sale ofthe Bluemont Virginia f9'~J;>!' they owned from 1947 to 1951. The exceptionto this is a ledger book ~f monthly accounts kept by Truscott from1933 to 1941 and 1957 to 1965.

Truscott's military career is well documented in this collection.A series of general correspondence precedes the career orientedsubgroups and consists of letters to and from some of the leadingfigures of World ~var II. Included are Omar Bradley, Jacob Devers,Dwight D. Eisenhower, George C. Marshall, Thomas Handy, George S.Patton and others. This correspondence concerns both militaryplanning and personal matters. Also to be found are letters regardingevents Truscott attended and arrangements for a variety of visits.

Within each of the army career subgroups the material is much thesame. There are orders, battle plans campaign reports, telephonemessage summaries, minutes of meetings, memoranda and speeches.Much of each subgroup concerns plans for operations includingTORCH, SLEDGEHAMMER, BOLERO, ANVIL, CRAFTSMAN, and DRAGOON.

Truscott's post war army career is also documented. The Bavarianoccupation material is brief and similar to the above mentionedmaterial; telephone transcripts, speeches and memos. Material fromthe War bepartment Screening Board consists of correspondence andreports as well as decisions made by the board.

S and Content continued

From 1942 until June 1947 Truscott had his aides keep a dairy of dailyhappenings. These seven volumes are also included in the collection.They provide a running commentary on Truscott's actions during battleas well as stateside.

The remaining three series are memorabilia, clippings and photographs.Among the memorabilia can be found an autograph book with an originalBill Mauldin cartoon, a scrapbook containing reviews of andcongratulatoryabout Truscott's Command Missio~~ and a variety of other items.

Clippings from major newspapers document Truscott's promotions andmilitary maneuvers. These have been arranged by phases of his career.

The photographs are of both family and friends as well as placesTruscott visited or was stationed dud.ng the war. There is a largegroup of negatives documenting Truscott's various pre-war stationsincluding Douglas & Tombstone; Schofield Barracks; and Marfa, Texas.
