Abstract

North Dakota National Guard regiment, primarily known for service in the Pacific Theater in World War II

Scope and Contents of the Materials

The papers include daily journals, periodic reports, battle reports, killed in action reports, missing in action reports, military awards, orders and information on the regiment, including its early history before activation for World War II. A significant amount of the material relates to the 164th Infantry Association, including membership records and publications about the unit. Another major component of the collection deals with the regiment's service in World War II, as well as artifacts from the war.

Collection Historical Note

The 164th Infantry was operational from 1885 to 1955. During that time it's title changed several times. It began in 1885 as the First Regiment, Dakota National Guard. It was redesignated the First Infantry Regiment, North Dakota National Guard on November 2, 1889, when North Dakota became a state. On May 20, 1898, it entered federal service as the First North Dakota Volunteer Infantry for the Spanish American War and the Philippine Insurrection. After being dismissed from federal service on September 25, 1899, it reverted to state control.

It was called into federal service on June 18, 1916, for the Mexican Border Conflict. On Saint Valentine's day, 1917, the regiment returned to state control. Later that year, the regiment entered federal service for World War I. It was redesignated on October 4, 1917, as the 164th Infantry Regiment and was assigned to the 41st Division. The regiment was demobilized on February 28, 1919.

The regiment entered federal service on February 10, 1941, for World War II. It was sent to Camp Claiborne, Louisiana, for training, where it took part in the "Louisiana Maneuvers", a major series of training exercises in August and September 1941 that evaluated the readiness of the Army for the coming war. The regiment was assigned to the Americal Division on May 24, 1942. It was returned to state control June 10, 1946. The regiment was called into service January 16, 1951, for the Korean War. The 164th Infantry Regiment was disbanded April 15, 1955, and converted into engineering battalions.

The 164th is most remembered for its service in World War II. At Guadalcanal in October 1942, it became the first U.S. Army unit to engage in offensive action against the enemy. It was involved in the heaviest fighting of this campaign and was congratulated by the Marine unit it reinforced. For its efforts, the Americal Division was awarded the Navy's Presidential Unit Citation.

After Guadalcanal, the Regiment participated in the Bougainville Campaign (December 1943-November 1944), the liberation of the Philippines (January-August 1945), and assisted with occupation duty in Japan (September 1945-June 1946). During its existence the unit and its members saw almost 600 days of combat, earned 199 Bronze Stars, 89 Silver Stars, six Legions of Merit, ten Soldiers Medals, six Distinguished Service Crosses, one Navy Cross and about 2,000 Purple Hearts.

Major differences regard the amount of time the fire-fight lasted, as well as the number of enemy troops killed or wounded. There were also differences in the amount of friendly casualties, as well as how far the patrol advanced before meeting Japanese resistance.

Sub-Series 28: Charles Bell

“Charles T. "Chuck" Bell, age 98, passed away peacefully on April 13, 2021, in Newport Beach. He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles E. and Hennrietta Bell; 3 sisters, Theone Moise, Emogene Larson, and Florence Bisbee; and one daughter, Diana Bell. He is survived by his wife of 74 years, Phyllis Bell; two daughters, Cindy (Richard) Foullon and Anita (Robert) Zantos; two sons, Charles (Margaret) Bell and Matthew (Terry) Bell; one brother, Al (Mary) Bell; 9 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews as well. Chuck was born in Sheldon, North Dakota, and raised in nearby Enderlin. As a member of "the greatest generation," he was an icon of the era when our Nation recovered from the ravages of World War II. For a short time, he was the oldest living member of the legendary 164th Infantry Regiment that played a vital role in the capture of Guadalcanal from the Japanese Imperial Army in 1942-43. After the war, he settled in Fullerton where his family resided. He attended Fullerton JC and Stanford University after which he began a long and successful career in the construction industry, first as a building inspector, concrete salesman, and for the majority of his career as an Orange County concrete contractor of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and tilt-up buildings. Chuck golfed, played the French horn, loved baseball, and was a long time member of Christ Church by the Sea Newport Beach. Chuck (aka Hookie) was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother, and son always up for a game of cards, and made friends wherever he went. He was the rock of our family and will be missed by all.” Source: Orange County Register, 8 May 2021

Bell served in the 164th Infantry Regiment from February 1941 to August 1945 and played the French Horn in the regimental band. Al Bell, brother of Charles, donated six scrapbooks and photo albums to the Department of Special Collections in October 2020 (2020-3425). The first item is a small binder full of letters, photographs, and documents concerning Charles T. Bell. The first photograph album is blue and has a boat on the cover with the words “tough war” and contains photographs of the 164th infantry band performing various activities. The second photo album is blue with a boat and a Fiji sticker. It contains portraits of band members playing their instruments and spending time with the local Fiji population. The first scrapbook is large with a brown leather cover. It contains print material concerning the 164th infantry band. The second scrapbook is large with a green leather cover. It contains print material concerning the 164^th Infantry Band, as well as the Pacific theater of the Second World War.
