Re: Austin City Light Artillery

Jim,
They were also known as Willke's Texas Battery. This is because the first commander was Major H. Willke.

I am a reenactor in the Austin Texas area and we did a little research about the unit before we decided to name our reenacting unit after them. We feel it is fitting to carry on the unit name as a tribute to Major Willke and his men.
