History of the 113th Antiaircraft Artillery Gun Battalion that I got from my uncle the other day. My grandfather served in Battery D and wrote the history of the battery.

My uncle is putting my grandfather's scrapbook in pdf form and I'm waiting on that. It has photos from 1944 Europe combine with photos from his trip to Europe in the 90s.
