HISTORY:
World War I:
Rurie joined the Army August 6th, 1918. Service Number 3661488. He was assign to 34th Division, Company C, 136 Infantry - Camp Cody - Deming, New Mexico,
The division takes its name from the shoulder sleeve insignia designed for a 1917 training camp contest by American regionalist artist Marvin Cone, who was then a soldier enlisted in the unit.[9] Cone's design evoked the desert training grounds of Camp Cody, New Mexico, by superimposing a red steer skull over a black Mexican water jug called an "olla." In World War I, the unit was called the "Sandstorm Division." German troops in World War II, however, called the U.S. division's soldiers "Red Devils" and "Red Bulls," the division later officially adopted the divisional nickname Red Bulls.[10]
34th ID Soldiers at Camp Cody, NM on 18 August 1918.
Brig. Gen. Frank G. Mauldin took command.[11] The 34th Division arrived in France in October 1918, but it was too late for the division to be sent to the front, as the end of hostilities was near, with the Armistice with Germany being signed the following month.
Brig. Gen. John Alexander Johnston took command 26 October 1918, and some personnel were sent to other units to support their final operations. Charles Dudley Rhodes took command in December and led the division until its departure for the United States in January 1919.[12] The 34th was disbanded on 18 February 1919 at Camp Grant, Illinois.[13]
