Adiutant General Peck has requested us
TO publish the following notice, and he
hopes that all papers which see il will pub
lish IL:
"All Vermonters who served with the
troops from the State of Vermont, in the
regular army and navy, United States coll
ored troops, and in organizations from
other States, or the relatives and friends
OF deceased soldiers, are requested to send
the names, rank and organizations in which
they served, with a short sketch OF their
service, to the adjutant generals office at
Burlington, VT, at their earliest opportu-
nifty, in order that they may be notified OF
the "Vermont Roll OF Honor IN the pro-
cess Of compilation, which viii contain
series of illustrated biographical sketches
of Nermonters who served as soldiers and
sailors in the Civil War OF 1S61-66, and
in which it is desired TO have the record OF
every Vermonter who served in the War
of the Rebellion.
Gen. Peck finds it almost impossible to
get a correct list OF Nermonters residing
outside OF the State, but he hopes in this
way To receive many responses TO his re-
quest. The "Nermont Roll OF Honor" of
which he speakes will be of the greatest
interestto Vermont soldiers, their relatives
and friends in future years, and it is hoped
that the above notice may reach as many
as posi- BILE.
