The 697th Field Artillery Battalion not only has a history stemming from the oldest battery in the U.S. Army, but it also has the distinction of being the first 240mm howitzer battalion formed for World War II. To carry on this proud history the 697th Field Artillery was the first 240 howizter outfit to enter combat in World War II, when it was committed under the aegis of the Fifth Army at Cassino, Italy, on Janaury 30, 1944. From that time until May 8, 1945, when "Peace through Victory" was secured, the battalion remained in combat to become the last 240 howitzer battalion to continue actively in battle in the European Theater.
