Good Hunting

An unbeaten record for "firsts" has been chalked up by Capt. Arthur L. Flinner '35, commander of a field artillery battery in the European Theater of Operations.

On D-Day plus one the captain's battery fired the first shell against German t roops 10 hours before any other gun of the division was active. For this promptness, Captain Flinner was awarded the Bronze Star.

Just a few months after the first shell was fired, the battery, then deep in the Siegfried Line, sent oyer shell number 100.000. No other battery in the entire American Army has reached that total. Captain Flinner supervised the firing of the shell on which 100,000 was chalked with appropriate ceremonies.
