I’m a graphic designer and historian. I create original information-art prints and restore vintage maps, with a particular focus on World War II—work I publish through HistoryShots.

ArmyDivs.com grew out of research for a print I was developing to tell the story of all 91 divisions of the U.S. Army in World War II. As I worked on that print, I gathered a large amount of material including unit histories, campaign timelines, and organizational details. It soon became clear to me that the material deserved a home of its own. This site is that home: the structure of the wartime U.S. Army, organized by division and campaign.

That same research now feeds a parallel effort at HistoryShots—a complete collection of campaign maps for every division, built from original designs and restored historical maps, helping preserve the legacy of the service members who served in World War II. Each map charts a single division's path through the war—the campaigns it fought in, the movements it made, the ground it covered.

Accuracy matters. I draw from a range of sources but lean on a core group of authoritative histories, including the U.S. Army Center of Military History’s Campaign Series, the official “Green Books”, Chronology: 1941–1945 Special Studies compiled by Williams, and Stanton’s Order of Battle.

Many people who find their way here are looking for a connection whether to a grandfather, a great-uncle, a friend, or a unit name they’ve carried for years without fully understanding. If this site helps place that service in context, then it’s doing what it was built to do.
