• Connecticut in World War I (“On January 16th, 1918 22 Connecticut men were assigned to Company C of the newly constituted 326th U.S. Field Signal Battalion, and the remainder became the nucleus of Company A, 326th Signal Battalion. (Note: Company B of the 326th was from New Hampshire.) The 326th Signal Battalion, under the command of Captain Curtis L. Sheldon, was sent to France from August 14, 1918 to June 27, 1919. On their return, to the United States, final reports were made at Camp Upton, New York and on July 3, 1919, the 326th Signal Battalion ceased to exist.[p. 65] The organizational standard is pictured above and its size was “four feet fly and three feet on the lance.” The guidon below was identified as belonging to the 326th by labels attached to the staffs, which also affirm that these flags were carried during WWI.”
