| In 1917, Harry S.
Truman began his career in the Missouri National Guard. He trained
at Camp Doniphan
in Oklahoma and became a captain. Then he took command of Battery
D - the 129th field artillary. The Rowdy Kansas City Irishmen
of the battery were known for wearing out commanding officers. Many
predicted the new captain would not be able to get his men under control.
But Harry didn't fail. He succeeded. He took his men to France
and fought in World War I. He was very strict with his men, but they
really liked Harry. They served in several battles until Harry was
dishcarged in 1919. All in all, Harry was a very good soldier and
an even better leader. Everyone was proud of Harry S. Truman.
