VAntage Point Contrasting lives: WWI Black Veterans Everett Johnson and Robert Chase This is the third installment in a three-part series on the officers and men of the 349 th Field Artillery Regiment in World War I. These blog posts profile the World War I service and post-war experiences of three Veterans of the 92 nd Division’s 349 th Field Artillery Regiment, one of the Army’s first predominately African-American units. Alabaman and Colonel Dan T. Moore was its reluctant white commander. First Lieutenant Everett Johnson, a black officer, commanded Battery E, and Sergeant Robert Samuel Chase was one of Johnson’s non-commissioned officers. All three survived the war and are interred in national cemeteries maintained by VA’s National Cemetery Administration. Both Johnson and Chase, highly skilled and educated, faced their own challenges after the war.
