| Summary | "The Iron Division: National Guard of Pennsylvania in the World War" by H. G. Proctor is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the valor and achievements of the 28th Division, also known as the Iron Division, during World War I, specifically highlighting their experiences on the front lines in Europe. It presents a vivid narrative of their journey from training to actual combat, showcasing the dedication and sacrifices of these soldiers in the face of adversity. The opening of the book introduces the distinctive identity of the 28th Division, highlighting their insignia, the Red Keystone, which became a symbol of pride after they proved their mettle during significant battles such as the second battle of the Marne. General Pershing’s admiration for the division marks the beginning of their transformation from a once-derided National Guard group into a celebrated fighting force. As the narrative unfolds, it details the soldiers' feelings of eagerness to engage in action and the camaraderie that develops among them, setting the stage for the events that will test their courage and resolve in the harsh realities of war.
