Union and those who fought against the Union and

Guinea. and the veterans had TO wait They
were a little angry at the Interruption, but they
cooled down in a few moments and ranged them
selves in line in front of the monument to
Colonel Mulligan. after whom their post is
named. The veterans uncovered and stood
silently and with bowed heads while the base of
the statue was being strewn with flowers Then
Commander Lnscott stepped to the front and
began brief address. Comrades" he said,

the memory of soldier whom we love to honor

"But was not offering prayer" said Mr..
