This should probably be deleted also as we don't do pages on individual batteries/companies unless there is some sort of historical significance attached to them. This company does not have that.--Looper5920 18:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Article reassessed and graded as start class. Since the Company has been active since 1800+ and ACW is listed as one of the war's they took place in, sections for these should be added. --dashiellx (talk) 17:03, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

The 111th Field Artillery actually does have a notable historic role, readily found on the internet. This article is seriously deficient in not mentioning it. Together with the 116th Infantry, they landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day. Lt. Col Thornton Mullins led the 111th. All but one of their 105 mm howitzers were lost before landing due to their amphibious landing craft swamping, and the last gun wound up donated to another unit. Mullins famously declared "To hell with our artillery mission, we're infantry now." If I do update this article I will have to be cautious about original research.

 * Tomligon, recognizing I'm coming into this about 8 years later. I'm going to make some expansions to this page.  We need to break out the Regiment (and its historical legacy) and its traditional subordinate BNs (1 and 2).  The 1st BN is still active as a composite BN in the VANG.  I would propose that I take something similar to other regimental pages and detail the reflaging, reorg traditional, and service by conflict.  Squatch347 (talk) 15:22, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
