"Doings of Battery B"
#5

I got my latest book on the 328FA.

 

The Red Guidon: 328FA

This is another book printed for the Veterans who returned from service in Europe with the 328th Field Artillery Battalion. It is 8-1/2 by 11 format with 129 pages and includes some photos of officers and fold-out group photos of each battery---but almost too small to identify a soldier. The quality is nice but not as good as the above-mentioned book. The pages are glossy but the binding is flimsy and pages are coming loose.

The book contains names of officers and Roster of each battery that was recorded in 1919 before the unit was deactivated. The book was probably published within a year or two after that. It has many poems and stories and a little bit of history written as short news articles. In the front is a chonology of events in short one-line entries.

I'm having a difficult time scanning images from the glossy pages. I may try to photograph them instead.

A nice little addition to my collection on a WW1 unit.
