This volume gathers in compact form the official historical records of field artillery units in the United States Army in order to perpetuate and publicize their traditions, honors, and heraldic entitlements. It includes the lineages and honors of Regular Army and Army Reserve field artillery commands, brigades, and groups, and corps and division artillery that have been active since 1965. It also includes the fifty-eight elements of each regiment that have been active since the inception of the Combat Arms Regimental System in 1957. This two-part second edition updates the lineages, honors, and heraldic items of the Regular Army's field artillery regiments and further expands them to include organizations above the regimental level, as well as Army National Guard units. All are current through September 1, 2003. This is the companion book of The Organizational History of Field Artillery, 1775-2003.
Contains a bibliography of U.S. Army unit histories.
World War I diary of Private Herbert T. Tinker, Battery A, 103rd Field Artillery, American Expeditionary Forces, 1917-1919. Communicated in letters sent to his family, from which this typed transcription was made. "He kept this diary religiously as a record home of his life in Battery A. Such a diary was, of course, frowned upon by military regulations lest they fall into enemy hands but the Battery Commander, apparently dilatory in his paper work for the unit's reports, looked the other way and in fact frequently referred to Private Tinker's diary when catching up with his own military log and daily reports. The entries were sent home as often as possible where his younger brother, Harold, typed them up--first at home in Nashua, later when he too was a student at Brown during the War."--Harold L. Tinker, Brown University Class of 1921. In his letter of conveyance to the John Hay Library, Brown University, Harold Tinker notes that Herbert's unit "was made up largely of Providence persons plus many graduates of Brown University, Classes of 1916 and 1917."
With the centennial of the First World War rapidly approaching, historian and bibliographer James T. Controvich offers in The United States in World War I: A Bibliographic Guide the most comprehensive, up-to-date reference bibliography yet published. Organized by subject, this bibliography includes the full range of sources: vintage publications of the time, books, pamphlets, periodical titles, theses, dissertations, and archival sources held by federal and state organizations, as well as those in public and private hands, including historical societies and museums. As Controvich’s bibliographic accounting makes clear, there were many facets of World War I that remain virtually unknown to this day. Throughout, Controvich’s bibliography tracks the primary sources that tell each of these stories—and many others besides—during this tense period in American history. Each entry lists the author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, and page count as well as descriptive information concerning illustrations, plates, ports, maps, diagrams, and plans. The armed forces section carries additional information on rosters, awards, citations, and killed and wounded in action lists. The United States in World War I: A Bibliographic Guide is an ideal research tool for students and scholars of World War I and American history.
