At the end of 1952, the School of Applied Artillery was reinstated in its town of origin: Châlons-sur-Marne

In 1976, the school moved to new buildings near Draguignan before joining the EAASA in 1983.

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    The conviction that the best way to prepare children for a harsh, rapidly changing world is to introduce formal instruction at an early age is wrong. There is simply no evidence to support it, and considerable evidence against it. Starting children early academically has not worked in the past and is not working now.
    David Elkind (20th century)

    The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone
    In the ranks of death you’ll find him,
    His father’s sword he has girded on,
    And his wild harp slung behind him.
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
