Much valuable time was spent at the beginning of the war on training, maintenance, and police of other armament as Battery "I" was also assigned by the Fort Commander to man Battery Craighill (4-l2" Mortars), Battery Leach (2-6" Disappearing Guns), Battery Fuger (2-3" Rapid Firing Guns), and the beach defense of the eastern end of the Island of Ft. Hughes in case of necessity.
