Battery B of the First Howitzer Battal-
ion, 248th Field Artillery, was officially acti-
vated in Mason County 12 November 1947 un-
der the command of Captain Walter Elliott,
who was thcn just returned from active duty
in World War II in the Pacific Theatre and
Korea.
In its early months Battery B drilled at
the Shelton airport in the old Navy mess hall,
now used by the Rogers School for Retarded
Children.
The Shelton armory was completed in
1955 and Battery B began its drills in the new
structure on 1 November 1955. M/Sgt. Ken-
neth Rose, who is administrative supply main-
tenance technician, is the battery's only full-
time employe. He enlisted in Battery B 31
August 1948 as a private and rose to the rank
of master sergeant, assumihg his present du-
ties 1 November 1950.
Battery B drills now on Monday nights at
7:30 except for the two-week encampments
each summer during which its personnel live
in the: field and on the range actively practic-
ing their military duties as field artillerymen
operating the big howitzer guns.
An average of $20,000 has been paid Bat-
tery B members annually over the past 15
years, for a total of approximately $300,000
during the life of the battery up to now.
Today Battery B is under the command
of Captain Paul Koch and 2nd Lieutenant Jo-
seph L. Ellis Jr. There is an opening for either
a 1st Lieutenant or a 2nd Lieutenant to com-
plete its complement of officers, as well as
several non-commissioned officers among the
more than 15 openings available in the per-
sonnel ranks to bring the battery up to full
strength.
Sergeant Rose can provide information to
both young men who have yet to fulfill their
military obligations and to veterans who have
had military service as to just what future
military service they face. He may be con-
tacted at either the rmory or his home.
