Title	The Role of American Artillery 1917-1957
Subcollection	History of the School of Fire: 1911--
Description	Artillery dates from the slingshot, but the events of World War I raised it to a new level of importance on the battlefield. When the United States entered the war in 1917, the School of Fire, originally founded at Fort Sill in 1911, was reactivated under General William J. Snow, and American artillerymen began to train to participate in a struggle in which artillery was to inflict 75 per cent of the casualties.
