Copyright, 1919 LOOMIS & COMPANY Boston ^CU559e96 BEING THE NARRATIVE OF BATTERY A OF THE FIELD ARTILLERY lOlst (FORMERLY BATTERY A OF BOSTON) From the time of its muster into the Federal Service on July 25, 1917, through its 19 months of service in France, nine months of which were in action at the front, until its de- mobilization at Camp Devens, Mass., on April 29, 1919. Cambridge, Mass. THE BRATTLE PRESS Printers Perhaps some discerning reader may discover, in the pages that follow, mistakes in grammar or changes in style. If so, he should bear in mind that no less than 16 members of the Battery helped write this history, and that, written as it was, for the greater part in France during the months fol- lowing the armistice, the events of the preceding year and the "dialect" of the Army were much fresher in the minds of the men than was the liter- ary technique of the English language.
