Members of the Rhode Island National Guard memorialized their predecessors' service and sacrifice by laying a wreath last week at a World War I monument. Rhode Island's 1st Battalion, 103rd Field Artillery was drafted for overseas service in the American Expeditionary Forces and went to France in October 1917. The unit participated in several battles after moving to the front lines in February 1918 and was recognized for valorous conduct for repelling enemy attacks near Seicheprey, France, according to the National Guard.

A man is only missing if he is forgotten.
Monday's MIA this week is 1st LT Arnold Matthew McInery. Born April 23rd, 1893, Lieutenant McInery was a student at Notre Dame University when war broke out. He enlisted in the first officer’s training program at Ft. Benjamin Harrison on May 15th, 1917. Upon completion of his training he was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant and went overseas with the 9th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Division. While leading his company into an attack during the Battle of Soissons on July 18th, 1918, Lt. McInery was killed in action and interred in a makeshift battlefield grave, which was never located after. The company he led into battle that day was later decorated by the French for bravery in action during that attack.

James Milo Miller born around 1893. James Miller served in World War 1 with the United States Army. The enlistment was in 1918 and the service was completed in 1919.
Story of Service
The Service in World War I of James Milo Miller, 314th Field Artillery Regiment February 1918 – March 1919
First, I would like to say that I have written a book about the experience of my father, James Milo Miller, in World War I based on all the letters he wrote to various members of his extended family during his time in that war, from the time of his being drafted in 1918 until he was discharged in March 1919. The book also describes the remarkable hospitality extended to the three regiments of the 155th Field Artillery Brigade (the 313rd, the 314th and 315th Field Artillery Regiments) during their two months of training on the French 75 in and near the city of Redon, Brittany, France.
The men of the 155th Field Artillery Brigade made such a favorable impact on the citizens of that city that there was a 100th year commemoration of the arrival of that brigade in Redon on June 9, 2018! The brigade entered Redon for their two months of training in the wee hours of June 13, 1918.
