SC.GOV: The Official Web site of the State of South Carolina

This week’s new video on the SC Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum’s YouTube Channel features Sarah Wooton discussing the 318th Field Artillery Band, which served 22 months overseas during World War I. The band performed goodwill concerts in cities and villages throughout France. General Pershing was a strong advocate for military bands and urged Congress to send more bands overseas during the war.
