General Terry de la Mesa Allen was born on 4/1/1888 in Fort Douglas, Utah.  He was given the nickname "Terrible Terry" when he commanded the 1st Infantry Division (The Big Red One) under General George Patton during the landings at North Africa and later into Sicily.  He returned to the States after Sicily, and eventually formed a new division, the 104th (Timberwolf) Division.  He was the only U.S. general in W.W. II to train and command two separate infantry divisions.
