“Packs On!” is a collection of individual memoirs by soldiers who served in the 10th Mountain Division during the Second World War. Author A.B. Feuer provides an introduction and timeline on the Division’s service; the rest of the book contains stories from soldiers about themselves, their buddies and their service. The individual memoirs have been edited by Feuer and are arranged in rough chronological order.

Hey I think that is a great book as well- thanks. When I read it I wrote about it in a Forum. There are several excellent books about 10 th Mtn Div. As well, I am very interested in explaining WWII history to younger folks. In WWII the bad guys nearly won, democracy was vanquished except for the USA, and Great Britain survived on the thinnest margin. I ski patrolled with a 10th Mtn veteran and know an old log cutter here in Leavenworth WA who went to Italy in the 10th. The old log cutter here scoffs at the glory described in the books, it was rough. He was on the line in Italy and said he never fired his rifle- the fighting was always to either side of his platoon. He said artillery was the biggest hazard. I own the excellent video “Fire On The Mountain” about the 10th Mtn Div and includes narration and interviews of !0th Veterans- thanks to them. “Sempre Avanti.”
