One OF the most interesting stories
OF the District troops in France was
told by Milford Cleaveiand, OF Lang
don. ID. c.. who, with several other
soldiers, managed to smuggle a mas
cot, a dog, overseas. Cleaveland says:
I've picked him pp near Camp
Greene shortly before coming to New
York, He was only month old. We
managed to bring him to New York
with his mother. This dog we named
Sammy His mother was named
Peggy. We also had two small bears
with us in New York Just as We
were about TO board the ship Lsvia

away from US and also Peggy One
