Erin. 1t didn't occur to him that the
regimental a%djutant would pick out the
four companies whose ranks are filled
with boys from the ''euld sod" for drill
work on st. Patrick's. But this is what
happened.
The order was posted March II. 1t
that the Third Battalion should
drill on the night of March II, the First
Battalion March is, and the Second
March 10. The Third Battalion is COM
posed largely of Irish-Americans, but
Adjutant Graft forgot this when he
posted the order.
This morning Colonel Freeman saw
the order. Promptly he counternlanded
it and issued another changing the
date. SO the Third Battalion will have
opportunity to make merry along with
the rest of the boys tomorrow night.
