Berlin VFW was very appreciative of our presence at their salute
that the 6th Wisconsin Light Artillery is invited for their
4th of July event..... next year 2017.
September 1861... an Artillery unit formed out of Lone Rock, Wisconsin. They were answering a call of their country to fight in what we now call the Civil War. As a Wisconsin-based artillery unit we have chosen to represent the 6th Battery and honor the history of the unit.
