PAUL J. MUELLER
(1892 ? 1964) Highly decorated Army major general who served overseas during World War I and World War II. Mueller led the 81st "Wildcat" Division in its assault of Peleliu, the capture of Ngesebus Island, Kongauru and the Garakayo Islands. Mueller and the 81st also captured Pulo Anna Island, Kyangel Atoll, and Pais Island before mopping up on Leyte. A fine association piece, the bound unit history of the 81st "Wildcat" Regiment presented by Mueller to his superior, Lt. Gen. Robert C. Richardson, Jr. The heavily-illustrated 9" x 12" volume (Washington: Infantry Journal Press) bears a letter of presentation to Richardson clipped to the front flyleaf, and it is boldly signed by Mueller. The book bears some damp stains to the cover and spine only, otherwise very good.
