On or about November 30, l94l the rest of the battery and battery equipment were moved to Ft. Hughes.  Guns, director, and height finder positions in the meantime had been surveyed and equipment moved in to these positions, set up, and checked.  Now training and preparation of positions was continued at a far more rapid rate.  All the battery was present except for two men left behind at Ft. Mills who were attending 60th C.A. (A.A.) Height Finder School.  Repairs on barracks at Ft. Hughes hadn't been completed and so men were rationed and quartered with Battery "G" 59th C.A.
