The 140th Field Artillery Battalion was constituted and activated as part of the U.S. Army’s expansion during World War II. The battalion was assigned to the 35th Infantry Division and participated in the European Theater of Operations. It saw action in several major campaigns, including Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe.
