mans, were obliged to devote all their
times to bridge building and the in
stallation of waterworks and dugouts.
The regiment was cited three times
for bravery in connection with con-
tinuing strategic bridge construction
under terrific fire.
J. P. Wallace, the well known min.
ing man from Burlington, was men,
Der of the 9th Engineers, enlisting

ties. Mr.. Wallace was in charge of

GUS conflicts in which his battalion was
engaged. The fact that the division
was cited upon three SEPARATE occas-
