French anti-aircraft artillery school at
Arnouvile, where he rendered himself
invaluable, not only to the commission
but to the American officers who were
endeavoring to form an American anti
aircraft school in conjunction with the
French. An expert engineer, with a
profound knowledge of fuses. shells,
explosives and range finding instru-
ments, Captain Wilder sketched French
material so that it could be duplicated,
which sketches were used not only to
start the American school in France,
but were used at the anti aircraft ar
tillery school at Fort Monroe.
On or about October IS, 1917, Cap
tain Wilder went to the French front
north of Chateau Thicrrv and Fismes
along Chemin DIES Danes near Craonne.
