ANTHA1s a gathering that must have
wv been last might at the Troop
AEmory! The first 'annual dinner of
the troop since the armistice and re-
ttirh of the men in any numbers.
! OF course last November II there
was no dinner, for it was only six
days after the armistice and most of
the men were Ia France or in camps
in this country.
For years and years the annual din
ner Of the First City Troop has been
held on November II. And the troopers
gather together about ) 80 in the at
ternoon and walk down Twenty third
to Walnut and down Walnut to Broad
and back to the. armory by Chestnut
street and out to the armory in full
dress uniform. It's one gorgeous sight.
You remember / told you some time
ago about the darling old lady who
used to climb up on the side of the
bureau, when she was little girl, TO
watch her father, lieutenant in the
troop, as he stood before the glass to
place his helmet on his head before
starting out. Well, she never forgets
the troop dinner and do you know whyP
Because her birthday is the same day
and as far back as eighty years and
more ago she remembers how she loved
to see the troop march out for her
birthday" and how Papa was always
out the evening of her birthday at his
troop dinner. However, they had
midday dinners for the wee, ones then
and so she had her goodies in the mid :,
die Of the day with both father ana
mother, But to this day she watches
the troop on November II from her
window, and they passed it again last
night, but they went on the other SIDE
