HISTORY OF THE 1st FIELD ARTILLERY

The regiment as now constituted, less Headquarters Batteries, was organized, the 1st Battalion at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, the 2nd Battalion at the Presidio of San Francisco, California, May 31, 1907, consisting of Battery A, organized 1901 as the 30th Battery, Field Artillery: Battery B, organized 1901 as the 19th Battery; Battery C, organ­ized 1898 as Battery D, 6th Field Artillery; Battery D, organized 1792 as Porter's Company of Artillery; Battery E, organized 1812 as Ogden's Company, 3rd Regiment of Artillery; Battery F, organized 1861 as Battery D, 5th Field Artillery.

In the War of 1812, Battery E fought at the Battle of Stony Creek, Canada, on June 6th under the command of Captain Towson. Batteries C and E fought in t.he Seminole or Florida WaT, 1835-1842. In the Mexican War, 1846-1848, various batteries fought. both as Infantry and as Artillery. As ArtilleTy Battery E fought at Palo Alto, Rcseca de la Palma, Matamoros, Monterey, Buena Vista. Units of the 1st Field Artillery played a leading part in the battles of Coteras, Cheroubusco, Chapultepec and various other engagements. "Stonewall" Jackson, then a lieuten­ant, was a member of the regiment at that time. During the latter engagements more than 21 % were killed or wounded. The years 1855 and 1856 saw numerous engagements with Indians in Florida and the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.

The Civil War, 1861-1865, found the batteries scattered along the Rio Grande, and with D Battery located at Fort Sumter where they were fired on by the Confederates, April 12, 1861. After 34 hours under fire they were forced to surrender. Most of the regiment served in the Army of the Potomac as light artillery. D Battery, as it is now known, saw service in many battles, notably the Eleven Days Battle around Richmond in June, 1862, and took part in the Second Battle of Bull Run, August 30, 1862, Antietam, September 17, 1862, Gettysburg, July 3, 1863. Battery E fought in numerous engagements, notably Seven Pines, White Oak Swamp, Bull Run, Wil1iamsburg, Vir­ginia, 1862 and Antietam, September 16-17, 1862. Battery F was practically annihilated at the first. battle of Bull Run ; on its organization, it took part in the battles of Gaines Hill, Malvern Hill, Antietam, Gettysburg, and Han­over Court House. Over seventy engagements were taken part in by the batteries of the 1st Field Artillery during the Civil War.

From the close of the Civil War to the beginning of the Spanish-American War in 1898 usual garrison duties were performed, a few minor Indian Campaigns and one or two civil disturbances were engaged in.

In the Spanish-American War, Battery D took part in the battle of El Caney in Cuba, and E and F took part in the campaign in Porto Rico. Battery D was sent to the Philippines in 1899, participating in eighteen engagements.

In 1917 the regiment was assembled at Fort Sill, where its permanent station remained until May, 1941, when it joined the 6th Division concentration at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Meanwhile it participated with the Division in Third Army maneuvers in Louisiana in May, 1940, and in Minnesota in August of the same year.

Ten battle streamers, authorized by the War Department, are carried on the regimental standard.
