Company G
Composed of National Guardsmen from Scurry County, Company G originally organized and fought in France during World War I.

The unit fought in some of the fiercest battles on the European front including Salerno and Cassino. It also saw action in North Africa, in southern France, and in Austria. A heavily-decorated unit, Company G was an important element in the Texan contribution to the Allied Forces during World War II. (1984)
