152nd Field Artillery Association

Thanks for visiting the 152nd Field Artillery Association website. The Association is dedicated to preserving and sharing the historical legacy of the 152nd Field Artillery Regiment and to sustaining the social ties among its former members.

The main website introduces some of the history of the regiment, but we store much of our digital holdings at other sites such as Google Docs and Picasa. If you'd like to share some information, pictures, or other documentation that might be of interest to friends of the 152nd Field Artillery, please contact the webmaster.

This site is meant to be a collaborative effort of everyone with information to share about this great regiment. We'll continue to add content as long as we keep hearing from you!

The rediscovered On The Way March, composed for the 152nd FA in 1933, can now be heard again. Go to the News Page to read the story and listen to a digitized version of the song.

We've been hacked!! Somehow somebody managed to have all visits here coming from Google, Bing, Yahoo, and other search engines to be redirected to an online pharmacy. We should be fixed now.

Do you know something about the 152nd or 203rd Field Artillery? Maybe a loved one served during or after WW2? We'd love to hear from you. We want to know everyone and everything about this great regiment. Contact us at

*** Hale Bradt has written a book, actually a trilogy, about his father, 152nd FA WWII veteran Wilber Bradt. It is called Wilber's War: An American Family's Journey through World War II, and is described on the website www.wilberswar.com. Wilber was one of the great heroes of the Maine National Guard in WWII, and this is sure to be a great read.

We just discovered that many of the document links we provide throughout the site now are broken, thanks to Google ending their shortened URL process (goo.gl). It's going to take a while to recreate new links, so we appreciate your patience! In the meantime, most of the linked documents can also be found through the Documents page of the website
