Roswell's Battery A is slated for summer camp in August at Fort Sill Oklahoma with an overland trip. Reports say major military movements are planned for the season including a buildup of 60,000 troops in an upper New York state camp.
Battery A traces its honorable service back to pre border troubles, organized by Captain W S Murray who retired from the U S Army. Lieutenants Charles M de Bremond and James Hamilton followed, with de Bremond taking command when Murray went to California. The unit served on the Mexican border for months, then fought in World War I, earning front line status during heavy combat.
Captain de Bremond returned as Colonel de Bremond and died soon after. Lieutenant Hamilton rose to Major Hamilton and died years ago in Pittsburgh. The American Legion honored Colonel de Bremond by naming the local post Charles M. de Bremond. Memorial efforts since World War I failed. Roswell’s first militia began as a signal corps under Charles Whiteman, evolving into infantry and later Battery A of the 158th field artillery, whose proud service is noted.
