- About This Site
- My name is Chip Chapin. My father, 1st Lieutenant Charles A. Chapin, served in the 115th (HQ Battery) and was one of the original contributors to the battalion history. When I found The Story of the 115th A.A.A. Gun Battalion among his effects after he passed away in 1998, I soon discovered that it afforded a wonderful, personal look into the experiences and accomplishments of this particular band of citizen-soldiers. Their motivation and dedication is evident as they are transmuted from civilians and strangers into a well-drilled team. It is clear that they take pride in their skills. And yet there is always the overriding certainty that these men are in the Army to do a job and go home. And while they eagerly anticipate firing their big guns, they harbor no romantic illusions regarding the universal horror of war.
