back from Golden says The boys
are certainly grateful for the kind
nesses shown to them by Canon City
friends. The demonstration and the
courtesies exterdad to shem are the
talk of the camp. There isn't fellow
among us whose courage has not been
strengthened and whose loyalty has
not been deepened by the love and
the friendship expressed for US in
various ways. Parting was harder
than facing the Greasers could pos
sibly be. But we are all better men
for having experienced the noble
emotions and heard the worthy senti-

HOW TO ADDRESS
SOLDIERS MAIL

There appears to be some misap-
prehcnsion regarding the mail sent to
oldlers in the field and in the military
service of the United States. All
mail adressed to soldiers should be
plainly addressed to the unit OF the
command In which they are serving.
For instance. our boys were formerly
in Company F. but since entering the
service OF the United states, the com.
pany is designated as "Comrany G,
'irst Colorado Sepsr rate Battalion, U.
3. Army" and all mail so addressed
TO last known place OF the company
viii be forwarded to the company.
without further postage. from the
place of first Address. Full payment
of postage is required when first mall
ing.
The postal regulations provide for
soldiers in the service sending their
mail out without prepayment Of pos
tage when properly endorsed by the
officers in command, the postage. how
ever. is collected from the addressce
m delivery at destination.

see where former residents OF Canon
