The Man Who Built the Rangers | Lubbock News
Description
Born in Arkansas and forged at West Point, William O. Darby became the architect of America’s elite Army Rangers during WWII—building the first Ranger Battalion in Ireland, leading daring raids in North Africa, and spearheading key Allied operations in Sicily and Italy. His fearless command, including the pivotal Battle of Cisterna, earned him a posthumous promotion to brigadier general after he was killed in action just days before the war ended. Darby’s legacy endures through Ranger traditions, training programs, and military honors that continue to shape elite soldiers today.
