Erichson, who was made captain, angd who later rose in the military ranks as colonel of the First Connect- icut Reziment. Co. 1o was organized after the famour battery formed ul the close of the Civl war, was moved to Branford. The battery was under the captaincy of the late George Had- ley, a brother of the late R. W. Had- ley., The original roster of Co. E con- tained between 60 and 70 members.

Under the leadership of Captain Griswold, the junior company in this | city, continued to be one of the lead- ing outfits of the regiment. Captain Griswold, through his many years in military service, was an excellent of- ficer and was very popular with his men Prior to the outbreak of the Mexican trouble, Captain Griswold was retired on the reserve list, and in his place was chosen the late Har: F. Ladbury Captain Griswold rendercd his country valuable service during the period, assisting in the recruit work at Niantic. When after the war had ceased, and following the death of Captain lLadbur Cap- support position When the word relief came the boys were gladdened, for in their time in the Chateau- Thierry sector, some very exciting moments had crept into their liv The rest period consisting of 15 da was passed at Bissy-la-Cote, Cote 1 sector, near Chatillon. On August 30, the boys again entrained at Latrecy for Longville, near Bar-le-Duc. Also St. Mihiel Drive The St. Mihiel push was next, and the 102nd was destined to participate in this as in the other important scraps. The companies hiked for five nights, sleeping during the day, in the heavily thicketed woods for which France is well known. On September i, 8, when General Pershing’s own American army was about to fling itself at the fast crumpling German army, the 102nd entered the lines to the right of the historic city of Verdun. In the Argonne. October 6 found the 102nd regiment in the Argonne Forest, that hell-hole that will live for many years in the minds of those who went through it NEW BRITAIN ALWAYS WEN OVER THE TOP IN ITS DRIVES TO PROVIDE SINEWS OF WAR In Five Liberty Loan Cam- paigns, City Was Never Once Found Wanting— Record One to be Proud of. To provide the sinews of war was one of the biggest tasks to which America was to set herself about for the successful conclusion of fhe con- flict and New Britain in common with the other municipalities throughout the nation was called upon to furnish funds in proportion to the population { of the city. The response was a most Dleasing one and reflected nobly upon the patriotism of the inhabi- tants of this city the first Liberty Loan having been oversubscribed on the first day of its campaign and each of the succeeding four loans having heen surpassed in the eager rush of loyal New Britainites to provide for the men in the lines of defense. In the 142 years of America’s ex- istennce the country has taken part in five wars all of which were financed by direct appeals to the people and the forefathers of the present in- habitants of the Hardware center were called upon for subscriptions recelving a rate of interest somewhat higher than other investments would provide. New Britain, however, found herself facing a much bigger and more important problem in the great World War for where the gov- ernment had formerly called for mil- lions she was now calling_for billions to finance a bigger project than had and required perhaps more time than any of the other offices. Others who assisted as heads of sub-committees and who rendered valuable aid in putting the campalgns over were Chairman Leon A. Sprague of the publicity committee who was responsible for the devising of various means of keeping the public informed on the success of the campaigns and attending to newspaper advertising and write-ups, trolley ad automobile posters; Frederick Chamberlain, head of the speakers’ committee and W. L. Hatch the chairman of the team captains. Everybody Worked Hard. The heads of the various factories throughout the city assisted the com- mittee greatly by appointing a solici- tor to go through their plants and take subscriptions for the loans, thereby assuring the committee that every workingman in the city would be approached and glven an oppor- tunity to subscribe. This method of canvass was productive of good re- sults and about 90 per cent. of the factory laborers availed themselves of the opportunity presented them to subscribe. Following an extensive advertising campaign covering a period of about two months and carried out through the agency of the public press and through the four minute speakers, the first Liberty loan was launched on June 15, 1917 and the committee in charge of the drive here were notifled that New Britain's quota was set at $1,580,000. While everyone was optimistic about the outcome of the drive, none expected that on the day following its opening New Bri- tain would not only have subscribed e Before the close af the drive new subs scriptions had raised the total to $8,« 017,050. The Fourth, or as it was called, the Fighting Fourth loan, called for thel greatest financlal effort ever made byt the cauntry, and each city and town making up the country. The amountf to be raised was larger than any coun= try heretofore had ever attempted tol raise but the added enthusiasmy brought about by the successes off American troops on French soil, help< ed put the loan over, this city sub« seribing nearly double the amounf asked. The quota for the Hardward city was $3,178,000 and the amountf pledged to the government was $6,4 336,950, The subscription from factory hands in the Fourth loan was one of the vi< tal factors in its success; 13,981 in< dividual subscriptions were received, amounting to $1,232,650. Chairman Sprague of the publicity committee in- troduced a novel scheme for inform«< ing the public as to the progress of this drive and had erected in Centraf park a stand upon which a cannon was affixed. Abaut 100 feet away way a target bearing the figures of New Britain's quota and as the drive pro< gressed a wooden shell was moved to« ward the bullseye bearing the figurd of the amount raised Last Toan Goes Big. The Fifth, last, and one of the mosf successful loans, locally, of the entird group was launched on April 5, 191 “to bring the boys home.” The quotal of $2,385,000 was over-subscribed by the purchase of $3,349,950 worth of bonds by New Britainites, but only after the team captains and theix workers had scoured the city. As wag anticipated by the central commit< tee, the fact that hostilities had ceased had a great deal to do with the lag< ging on this campaign, those of mod< erate means being a little reticent about giving for this purpose. An active speaking campaign in which the Boys' club band assisted by giving band concerts and to which th four minute men appointed by thq government and the pupils of the High school also lent thelr aid, helped somg| in making the campaign a success The relic train with an exhibit of ar. : : during the great offensive that opened | ever before faced the world.
