From The Indianapolis News, Thursday, April 13: All persons interested in saving Battery A and keeping Indianapolis on the map in military affairs are urged to attend a mass meeting at the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow night. The War Department has ordered Battery A mustered out effective April 30 because of “a lack of community and state support.” In the thirty-four years of its existence, some of the best known men of Indianapolis have been members of this battery. It has a creditable record of honorable and brilliant service, and an enviable reputation as one of the crack battery organizations of the country. Its enrollment of 75 men will no longer suffice, and unless it can be brought up to the government’s required standard of 133 officers and men, Battery A will be mustered out of service.
