Sixty-Five Veterans Of
Tank Corps Arrive Home
Without a Reception

Sixty-five members of the United
States Tank Corps, most of them
from this city, arrived in Harrisburg
from Camp Meade, Md, last evening
on a special car, entirely unherald-
ed. No person was aware of the
return of these men and no recep-
ton was rendered them.
The men who arrived here last
night, together with the many others
on special cars who were proceeding
farther westward had returned to
this country several weeks ago, after
months of Treat EN- Rough" ex-
perience overseas. They were mem
bers of the Three Hundred and Sec
ond, Three Hundred and Fourth,
Three Hundred and Seventh and
Three Hundred and Twenty-second
Tank Brigades, which units had
been discharged at Camp Meade,
Md, yesterday. These brigades
landed at Newport News on their
transports and were sent at once to
Camp Meade, Md, where they were
located until discharged yesterday.
