to Camp Devens brought out the fact
that the Vermont boys were all trying
to get passes to go to their homes. but
owing to the lack of time and the late

which there were some 213 Vermonters,
originally, speaks in the highest terms
of the boys, stating that they were good
fighters. that they have been a credit
to Vermont and have held up the reputa-
ton of the Green Mountain State. If
they had not been dsorganized by being
combined with other organizations that
they would have been heard from a great
deal more, he said. Incidentally, he gave
the 10lst Ammunition Train the first
praise that il has received other than
the few lines that Frank Sibley gave it
several weeks ago. Major Bowen said
that a great deal of the credit which
has been given to other organizations was
due to the lOlst Train because they
always had explosives on hand when
needed.
