The following article, titled “244th Field Artillery Battalion,” was kindly provided by Patrick Feng, Foundation Programs and Operations Coordinator at the Army Historical Foundation and a regular contributor to the “On Point” publication. This article provides a summary of the history of the 244th Field Artillery Battalion by Patrick Feng
Please note regarding this History section: I did not include individual footnotes for the Library of Congress HQ FUSAG Twelfth Army Situation Maps from 1944 and 1945. These maps are available here and should be considered as the source reference for all related data.
All battalion map coordinates have been transcribed and are accessible here. When you click on a map coordinate highlighted in red, it will open in Google Maps. You can zoom in to see that the red marker is placed approximately at the center of the translated coordinate. Please be aware that in some cases, this may not represent the exact location of the 244th Battalion, but it is the closest approximation based on the available coordinates.
There are several towns, villages, and a few map coordinates that have not yet been identified. These locations are not marked in red; if you are able to locate them, please assist by providing their details.
For any additions or corrections, please submit them to contact.the.244th@gmail.com. Thank you.
