This rare 1933 Lewis Rothe and Warren Gibbs pictorial map of Europe playfully commemorates the peregrinations of the 301st Field Artillery during World War I (1914 - 1918). The map traces the 301st's movements from Boston through Nova Scotia and England to France, then back across the Atlantic to New York City after the war ended. Lewis Rothe drew the map in collaboration with Warren R. Gibbs, a veteran of the 301st. A series of 'close-ups' in the lower left offers interesting personal insights into the unit: Lieutenant Dowd's luck at gambling and Colonel Brooke's habit of buying souvenirs. (more details)
