“AFTER FIVE" brings to a close the history of the
93rd Armored Field Artillery Battalion, When our
standards are furled and cased for the last time there
will be only this short narrative and your memories
to remind you of the battalion. This history is not
concerned with the “big picture“, but rather is intended
to preserve a memory of our days in combat.
It is noteworthy that the 93rd A.F.A. was one of the
few self-propelled artillery battalions in the U.S. Army
engaged in combat before the invasion of France,
Its employment as non-organic artillery was even
more exclusive in the field' of pioneering at that
time. That this new type of American artillery proved
its worth has been of great satisfaction to us and we
can feel justly proud of our part in its development.
Because many requests have been received for
copies of “AFTER THREE“, written for the battalion
by Lt. CoL ShankJin,. the originaLl has been incorporated as a part of this narrative. In addition, rosters,
pictures, and a map showing our route of march
through Italy, France, Germany and Austria are included as part of this history. FOREWORD
