During the Occupation of Germany in 1919, the 15th FA Regiment produced a Vaudeville Show.  The 15th FA Regiment was fortunate to have many talented musicians, singers, dancers, actors, and comedians and they volunteered to entertain the 2nd Division troops in and around Neuweid, Germany.  This is a picture of the Program they produced in the spring of 1919
