| "The
284th Field Artillery Battalion spent eight and
two-third months in combat. Like practically all
corps artillery units, Helpmate was never pulled
out of the line for rest and rehabilitation, or
to assimilate replacements, as were many of the
units which the battalion supported. Divisions
came and divisions went, boundaries were shifted,
units were changed, but generally the corps
artillery units remained where they were until a
change in the situation permitted them to
displace forward....[H]elpmate fired over 98,500
rounds in support of [inftantry units]."
