by Reese Amis. 1920. 133p
The history of the 114th Field Artillery highlights their rigorous training and preparation, which included the use of wooden guns for drills until real artillery arrived. The regiment faced significant challenges, including a tragic shell explosion that killed two band members during salvage operations. As they engaged in heavy artillery preparation for the Second Battle of the Marne, disorganization and communication issues arose, complicating their efforts during the major attack.
