He was the last of the original members of Troop I as it was organized January 20, 1920, to sever his connection with the organi zation. Lt.

I think that it may and should he of great assistance to the several organi zations of our Guard. It has splendid possibilities. It should receive the en thusiastic support of our organizations and organization commanders. “Yours very truly, W. T. Joyner. Colonel, 113th F.A.” Now let the news come. HEADQUARTERS BATTERY, 113th F.A., DUNN, N. C. Dunn, N. C., April 19th.—At the time of this writing Federal Inspec tion for this organization, which is always a big event for this and all other National Guard outfits, is “just around the corner.” Many members of the Battery think that with Sgt. Butler and his Signal Detail stringing telephone wire and establishing communications in “no time flat,” and with Sgt. Smith and his Instrument Detail measuring azi muths, sites and ranges with ease and rapidity (including the range to the moon by Sgt. Shell!) and reading maps and solving problems, and with Sgt. Gainey’s Motor Detail hlttin’ on all cylinders, and with all o’ us farm ers diked out in these new “uny- forms” which are fit for church, the Battery has an excellent chance of re peating last year’s rating of “V.S.” Here’s hoping that we are reading this in print (if we do), we won’t realize then that we were just foolin’ our selves—now! Master Sergeant Cleon T. Wilson, Sergeant Major of the 113th, has re cently reenlisted for his seventh year of continuous service in the National Guard. Wish we had more like him. First Sergeant Henry O. Shell re cently completed his first three year term of service and reenlisted for a second “hitch” of three years. Ser geant Shell lacked 44 days of spending two years in the service during the World War with the 119th Infantry. Good-natured, red-headed Henry Jackson, who was discharged from the Battery a few weeks ago after complet ing three years of service, was heard to say on the night of his last drill that he was sho’ out o’ O.P.’s Army now. But he can’t stay ’way! He’s been on hand for every drill since he was discharged, and it would be a safe bet that he will be back soon calling for the “dotted line to sign.” “Once a Guardsman, always a Guardsman”— the guy that said that knew his stuff. Ole “Hen’ll” be back! What’sat Majah? MEDICAL DETACHMENT, 113th F.A., WAKE FOREST, N. C. The annual Federal Inspection was held on Tuesday night, April 15th. At six o’clock preceding the inspection the officers of the Detachment were hosts at a dinner given at the Wii- liams Club. Those attending the din ner and inspection included. Col. Robert M. Blanchard and Major James C. Dempsey, Inspecting officers; Col. Wiiliam T. Joyner, Commanding Officer of the 113th Field Artillery; Col. H. G. Davids and Major 0. E. Beezeley, in structors; Col. Hodge A. Newell, Sur geon 30th Division; Major Frank Tim- berlake of the 1st Battalion, and Chap lain James B. Turner. The officers of the Detachment who were hosts of the occasion were. Major Herbert M. Vann, Capt. Chas. T. Wilkinson, Capt. Harry H. Johnson, Capt. Gaither Hale and Capt. Coy C. Carpenter. The Detachment was also honored on the occasion by the presence at the inspection of Town Commissioner R. W. Wilkinson, Prof. H. H. Coburn of Wesslyn College and Dr. R. W. Wilkinson, Jr. After a thorough inspection by Col. Blanchard short talks were made by Col. Blanchard, Col. Joyner, Col. David, Major Beezeley, Major Timber- lake and Capt. Wilkinson. All con gratulated the men on their fine ap pearance. Col. Joyner especially ex pressed himself as highly pleased with the work the detachment is doing and as being pleased with the inspection. He impressed the men with the fact that they are a very necessary part of the 113th Field Artillery, and an outfit that gives pride to the entire 01 ganization. Major Beezeley was especially impressed by the fact that they were well groomed, every man having his uniform well pressed and his shoes shined. Twenty-seven of the twenty-eight men were present. Private Shearon was prevented from attending on ac count of being away at school at quite a distance. Sgt. Fred W. Harper returned on April 10th from the Marine Hospital of the United States Public Health Service, Norfolk, Virginia. He went there on March 5th for a hernia opera tion. Sgt. Harper first felt his trouble while lifting a heavy mail bag at the postofflce where he work. He reports splendid treatment while at Norfolk. He feels that no hospital could have been more cordial and serviceable. All expenses, including travel, were paid by the government, through the Post- office Department.
