History of the 975th F. A. Battalion

I received this history in the mail by one of the soldiers who fought with the 975 Field Artillery Battalion by his niece. Unfortunitly I have lost both their names. I scanned the history just as recieved it, except I added page 10 with a picture of James Tynes and the gun that he was an radio operator on. James,s death is on page 5 paragraph 7.
