| Norwich Bulletin, Willimantic Of- !fice, 23 Church St. Telephone 105. What Is Going On Tonight. i Special city meeting in the Town f Hall to act on appropriation for the Welcome Home celebration. Modern Woodmen of { Camp No. 9546. meets at street. Obwebetnck Lodge, No. 16. I. O. O. | F, meets at 307 Main street. The members of Ct. B, Third Reg- sment, C icut State Guard, ar-| f rived home ‘Wednesday afternoon af- } ter four days at Camp Freeland. at| Niantic. The men all reported a very | enjoyable and profitable time and | said except for Wednesday morning | the rain did not interfere with them fat all. The course at the camp was a varied one. consisting of regular | drilis as B-escribed by the infantry @rill regulations and in addition the | men were given special traiming in riot drills and other routine duties which hardly come under the ordi- nary activities of fleld troops. One | point, brought out in connection with ! riot work was the efficacy of firing on the rear of a mob as that is always where the weakest adherents congre- gate and by this action, if firing is | necessary, the dispersal of the mob is iusually expedited. The course of { training at the camp also included }lectures on sanitation and other sub- tjects with which a soldier should be familiar. The men while at the camp received no pay but were fed by the state and will have their traveling ex- | penses paid. There were twenty-one| privates from the local company, the j two buglers and Captain Frank P. { Fenton, Lieutenants Jeremiah McCar- B. Smith, Sergeants Jacobs and Smith, Cor- porals Couchon, Dumars and Dainton at the camp. The local men traveled to and from the camp by autotruck, the trip taking about three hours. They arrived in this city shortly after 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The only criticism heard of the trip was the almost permanent condition of iwet feet “enjoyed” by most of the men. Captain America, 751 Main (Dr.) William P. Stuart arrived in _this _cit: the last of the Com- to reach home, stated ihat he would take a_rest ‘Befors resuming his practice here. Captain Keating was the only one of the several Willimantic surgeons who went into federal service to actually get into the front line trenches. His Tecord for the three vears and five months during which he has been in the service of his country is an en- viable one. He enlisted the first Connecticut Infantry in 1916 and| went to the border, serving in the Mexican troubles there with note- worthy ability. Just two years ago Wednesday he left Willimantic a lieu- temant in the medical detachment of what was the C. N. G. He sailed from this country Sept. 23, 1917, with the Signal Corps of the 10ist Machine Gun Battalion, arriving at St. Nazaier Oct. 1. On Oct. 19 he went to Meu- schieau with the 102nd Infantry of which the local company was a part, remaining with them until Jan. 1, 1918, when he was transferred to the 301st Infantry. He served with them in the Chemin des Dames and in Lor- raine, during which time he was twice gassed. July 1918 he was transferred to Bordeaux with the 143th Field Ar- tillery. Later in the sumnfer he was assigned to the Sassens sector of| Bordeaux to open an infirmary and had 4,800 men under him.
