fine appearance and soldierly bearing
soon attracted the attention OF Cap
tain Gibbon, writes Lieut. Col, j, A.

A couple of months after he had JOIN
ed the battery Captain Gibbon sent
to Armstrong and informed him that
he was going to make him corporal
But" said Armstrong, Captain
Gibbon, don't want to be a corporal
Il don't want promotion"
