The Air Service started as the Air Service of the American Expeditionary Force in 1917 and then on May 24 1918 merged with the Aviation Section Signal Corps of the U.S. Army to become the U.S. Army Air Service. The Air Service's early organization fluctuated substantially during World War I with numerous units like this one formed temporarily and then disbanded renamed or merged with other units. There is no record of this unit in the ORDER OF BATTLE OF THE UNITED STATES LAND FORCES IN THE WORLD WAR. although extrapolating from personnel records and oral histories this unit was likely stationed at Hazelhurst Field or Mitchel Field both located on the Hempstead Plains of Long Island two of the largest air bases in the country at the time. This unit was likely formed toward the end of the war and while they could not have known it at the time most of these soldiers were never deployed overseas or even served active duty stateside. In an oral history conducted by the Chesaning Michigan Public Library in 1976 former Sgt. Arthur Walser 1898-1980 relates how he was working at Curtiss Aircraft and had hoped to join the Army but had trouble obtaining a release from his employer and for good reason: aircraft manufacturing had exploded with America's entry into World War I and Curtiss was a major military contractor. Walser was finally released but enlistments had closed although "they opened enlistments if you could pass a certain exam in Detroit motor mechanics and there was four of us went down and we passed then we came home and sat here and waited until they called us and we were supposed to be trained in what we went in. We were sent directly to Long Island." Art and Ferne Walser Oral History Interview. This was October 30 1918. Walser was transferred to the 107th Aero Squadron which was in France at the time but he never departed; the Armistice was signed on November 11. He was discharged on December 10. Walser notes that his fellow sergeant and hometown friend Wayne Perrott 1899- 1939 had been transferred to the 45th in England but he never departed either.

CIVIL WAR RHODE ISLANDABAA

161 Young Men of Providence R.I. Found â€œLoyal Leagueâ€ Pledged to Support the Union

186324584"We the members of the Loyal League do hereby pledge ourselves by words and acts whenever practicable to use our influence in support of the Government in all its measures for the suppression of the present unholy rebellion; and we will use our influence to discountenance and oppose all efforts in opposition to the Government and the Union." CIVIL WAR--RHODE ISLAND.Pledge and original membership roll of the Loyal League of Providence Manuscript Document Signed with 161 signatures ca. January 1863 Providence RI. 2 pp. 7Â¾ x 22Â¼ in. Historical BackgroundLoyal Leagues also often known as Union Leagues were men's clubs established during the Civil War. They usually consisted of the professional merchant and artisan classes in northern cities. The first such club formed in Philadelphia in 1862.Many of the signers of this membership roll were born between 1844 and 1850 and many were probably students at Providence High School. In 1861 students from the high school organized into a militia company called the "Ellsworth Phalanx" in honor of the New York Zouave commander Elmer Ellsworth killed in May 1861 in Alexandria Virginia. They drilled and paraded in Providence throughout the winter and into the spring of 1862.After Confederate General Stonewall Jackson routed Union General Nathaniel Banks' forces at Winchester Virginia and pushed them back across the Potomac River in May 1862 urgent calls went out for troops to defend Washington D.C. In response Governor William Sprague of Rhode Island ordered the organization of the 10th Rhode Island for three months' service. Company B was recruited almost entirely from the ranks of the High School and University companies and commanded by Captain Elisha Dyer former governor of the state. At least one of the signers here William H. Hawkes served in Company B in 1862 and another Harry A. Richardson had served in Company K of the 9th Rhode Island in the summer of 1862.The likely author of the pledge and first signer on the right column was Granville Budlong 1844-1909. The first signer in the left column was Lewis G. Janes 1844-1901 son of prominent abolitionist Alphonso Janes. Other signers included Arthur Lincoln son of a professor at Brown University; and William E. Cushing 1844-1880 who became an architect and designed the city's baseball stadium in 1878. At least two signers Frederick Metcalf and Eugene F. Granger were killed later in the war while serving in the military. Metcalf was only seventeen when he died of disease in South Carolina in 1864 after a year in the service. Granger the son of a Baptist minister joined a New Hampshire regiment and died in a Confederate prison in North Carolina. His younger brother Edward V. Granger also signed this roll. Other signers were the sons of merchants railroad agents carpenters tin platers and masons in Providence. Several went on to graduate from Brown University in the late 1860s and early 1870s.On March 19 1863 the New York Times reported that in Providence Rhode Island"Only two weeks remain before the election. The Republicans and those loyal men of other parties who have united with them are diligently at work in canvassing the State. They are marking those "peace" men who â€¦ are expressing sympathy with the rebellion. The Democrats are really very unfortunate. They can't find one of their own party who wants office. They have been trying a month to get a Governor but no Democrat will accept their nominationâ€¦. When bad men combine good men must unite. So the loyal men of all parties are coming together in solemn league to support the Government and to give all their energies to the vigorous prosecution of the war. The "League" in this city is composed of some two thousand loyal names. It is fast increasing in numbers and is extending its spirit and influence throughout the loyal portions of the State."ConditionOriginally two joined leaves. The topmost portion of the sheet lost allowing the title "Pledge" to just be made out. Conservation repairs of fold separations. Strong signatures in various color inks continuing and with docketing on verso. books

1862 Civil War Bulletproof Vest Broadside

186221777A remarkable broadside advertising the sale of bulletproof vests to Union forces in North Carolina in the wake of the occupation of much of coastal North Carolina by General Ambrose Burnside's Expeditionary Force. CIVIL WAR.Broadside. "Good News to the Army." Bartlett & Munn Agents for Manufacturers. Newbern N.C. April 17 1862. 1 p. 9Â¾ x 6 Â½ in. "We beg leave to say to the officers and soldiers of the Expedition that after some delay we have received another invoice of those Monitor or Bullet Proof Vests which we are selling at our stand opposite the Post Office and as it is impossible for us to visit all the various Camps please call and examine or order with measure of breast and waist which will insure a good fit. We shall be here only a week or two longer therefore it is for the interest of all who may wish to purchase to call immediately."Historical BackgroundSeveral firms attempted to sell such bullet proof vests during the war with ads for body armor even appearing in Harper's Weekly. According to historian Byron Farwell "G. & D. Cook & Company of New Haven Connecticut offered to Union soldiers a 'soldier's bullet proof vest' in two models a seven-dollar model for officers and a five-dollar one for enlisted men and for a time early in the war the Atwater Armor Company also in New Haven produced two hundred per day. Although they were nonregulation in both Civil War armies a few volunteer regiments were quipped with them. They proved too heavy to be practical and the increased efficiency of weapons destroyed any value they may have had."It is not known which company "Bartlett & Munn" represented. Advertising to Ambrose Burnside's troops who had occupied New Bern N.C. on March 14 1862 they name their vests "Monitors" in obvious reference to the Union ironclad who had stood toe to toe with C.S.S. Virginia in the Battle of Hampton Roads on March 8-9 1862. books
