FIRST LIEUTENANT WILLIAM SORRELL Quartermaster MAJOR EDWARD H. D. GIBBS Commander HUGH CHAPMAN Quartermaster Sergeant The Second Battalion, Second Regiment By Major Edward H. D. Gibbs HIS BATTALION, composed of Companies D, E, and F began the year with a flying start, companies E and D placing first and second, respectively, in an early inspection by Major Maish, U. S. A., Lt. Col. Carter, and the three majorsq Company F redeemed itself by placing a close second in the Brigade War Game Finals and winning our Honor Guard Competition. These three companies, none of which are more than three years old and D brand-new, have shown a great zeal and desire to be first from the beginning of the year. In this they have succeeded to a marked degree. l47l Their personnel, headed by Captains Turner, lrelan, and Cawthorne, are those of firm dignity and perseverance, justifying my faith in their abilities as a battalion. When time for the Battalion Drill came, we were thoroughly familiar with the proceedings although we had been on grass only one drill day to practice. On April 10, we marched to Central Stadium in a high good humor with a strong determination to do our best. We did it and are now the proud possessors of the Col. Craigie Trophy.
