Military Organizations, WWI MIL ORG
Abstract
This is a version of a collections finding aid used by the Military Collection prior to 2014, before collections were numbered and had their own individual collection finding aid. There are far more WWI Papers collections in the WWI Papers holdings of the Military Collection than listed here for military organizations and North Carolina units. Some of the materials listed in this old finding aid have been reprocessed with new Military Collection WWI Papers collection numbers, replacing an older collection labeling system that did not use collection numbers. For those that have been reprocessed, they were removed from this finding aid, leaving box number gaps. The reprocessed collections and their finding aids are available for viewing the State Archives' online catalog DOC. For information on the reprocessed collections, contact the State Archives of North Carolina's Reference Unit or the Military Collection Archivist.

Records of the 113th Field Artillery Regiment, formerly the First North Carolina Field

Commission by Col. Albert L. Cox, commander of the regiment. Other former officers
may also have contributed copies of official documents. Capt. A. L. Fletcher, who
prepared a history of the regiment in 1920, may have (re)arranged the papers while
conducting his research. The arrangement is roughly chronological.
