A 15 minute video contains about the same number of words as four pages of text. Videos are for those who would never pick up a book.
If you don't already have it, there is a division history published in 1946, authored by Theodore Draper.
Not enough detail to even make a guess. Logically, you have to go from the last date you are certain of (not just 'believe') what unit he was...
Unless you stumble upon someone who has copies already, your only option is to either go to St. Louis yourself or hire a private researcher....

Watch this training film on dead reckoning. [MEDIA] If you are referring to map grid coordinates rather than long/lat, I presume you either have...
I'm old enough to remember when this site bore some resemblance to a WWII discussion forum. May be time for a probation period for new members...
