The Colonel served as Division Artillery Headquarters Battery Commander and Division
Artillery S2 before he was given command of the 345th in October 1947. The Battalion was very
fortunate in having Colonel Norris as commander straight through the period of its most
intensive training and later through combat itself. It is in action that a soldier discovers of what
his commander is made. At the end of eleven months of strenuous and nearly continuous combat
Colonel Norris has gained the respect and confidence of all men who have served under him.
