To relatives and Friends of Men
in the 338th Field Artillery,
| N. A.
The 338th Field Artillery, Ma
tional Army, is made up entire
~ OF men from North Dakota, a
fact we are very proud of. This
sntire regiment has been called
to the colors from the following
counties: Adams, Benson, Bill
lings, Bottineau, Bowman, Bur
leigh, Burke, Divide, Dunn, Ed
dy, Emmons, Foster, Golden Val
ley, Grant, Hettinger, Kidder,
La Moure, Logan, McHenry, Nc
Kenzie, Mclean, Wells, Mercer,
Morton, Mountrail, Oliver, Ram
sey, Pierce, Renville, Rolette,
Sheridan, Sioux, Slope, Stark,
Stutsman, Towner, Ward, Wells
and Williams.
This shows how representa-
tive of North Dakota the 338th
Field Artillery is, and on account
of it's being the only field artil-
lery unit made up entirely of
men from this state, it is Of the
greatest interest to you. This is
the regiment you will be watch
ing more than any other, be-
cause it is the one that you have
sent to do it's part in the world
war. You can well be proud of
the splendid showing this unit
has already made in drill and eff
ficiency. This usually means
that the same enviable record
will be made when the unit gets
into action. The Government
supplies every man with clothes,
food and equipment to keep him
in good physical condition, but
it does not make allowance for
recreation equipment such as
baseballs, boxing gloves, foot
| balls, books, papers, and many
other little things that make a
soldiers life more happy and
contented as we'll as making him
a better soldier. The men need
these things to give them good
clean recreation. The daily food
allowance for each man is 41.97
cents, and you can readily see
that this does not allow him
much for ice cream, pie, butter,
milk, or Thanksgiving dinner.
The only way to give the men
these things is to buy them out
of the Battery fund, and the on
~ way to get a battery fund in
a new organization, before the
Exchange, barber shop, etc., be-
gin to pay dividends is to have
it given to them. You do not
want your men to be without
the comforts which you can give
them, especially if you knew the
spirit and punch that it puts in
to them to feel that the ones
back home are behind them.
That is why we are asking you
to help start our Battery funds
with whatever you feel you can
afford. The money will be di-
vided between the eight units in
the regiment which consists of
six Batteries, one Supply Co. and
one Headquarters Co. Kindly
make checks payable to 'Bat-
terry Funds, 338th Field Artil-
lery," and send them to your To-
cal treasurer, who is The First
National Bang Of Bottineau, or
to Lieutenant Croil Hunter, (of
Fargo) acting Adjutant, First
Battalion 338th Field Artillery,
Camp Dodge, Iowa.
