The National Guard of Texas was mustered into federal service on August 5, 1917, for service in Europe during World War I. The majority of Texas guardsmen became members of the 36th Division. The division traveled to France in July and August 1918, where it was under the command of Major General William R. Smith. The division successfully participated in the Meuse-Argonne offensive in October 4-28, 1918. It returned to the United States between February and June 1919 and its sub-units were demobilized at Camp Bowie, Fort Worth, Texas at various times between March and June 1919. The division's veterans held reunions at Fort Worth, Texas, in 1933 and 1934.
