After World War I the unit was reorganized several times and was finally modernized as an artillery unit in late 1940. The men, now part of the 229th Field Artillery, saw action in Europe during World War II. The unit was expanded and later served in the conflicts in Korea and Vietnam. In September 1995 the 229th was merged to become part of Pittsburgh-based 107th Field Artillery Regiment. In May 2004 two members of the unit were killed in action near Fallujah, Iraq. Today, the armory remains the home of the Headquarters Battery, 1st Battalion, 107th Field Artillery Regiment, of the 28th Infantry Division. (1947) |

I am retired Army having served on Active Duty for 8 years and spent the remaining 28 years of service going between the Army Reserves and the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. I was in HQ’s Co, 28th Inf Div. having served in many capacities. I was a chauffer for General Goss. Later, I was the Officer Aide to General Duane Smith. I am doing ancestral research on a few uncles who served in the 107th Artillery Regt. and who spent time in A Btry……in the 1930’s. Do you have any records of unit service and activity dating from that period at your location? I understand HQ’s unit is located at New Castle and A Bty is located in Oil City. Are the records possibly still maintained at FIG? I would appreciate any information I can use as “a start point.” Thank you…..Bill Stahl
