I believe it is called "Battery C" and is a biographical collection of information of men who served in Battery C of the 140th Field Artillery of WWI (I believe). The book was published in 1961, and my great grandmother was interviewed for some of the information. Dr. Maharrey was the father of one of the men in Battery C. We can currently only take this info at face value until we can confirm all or part of it. We have already uncovered a discrepancy with the birth date of the son. I am waiting for USPS to bring me the copies. As of yet, I have not seen the text in person.
