Immediately after the return ofthe FIRST
Delaware Volunteer Infantry, IN 1898, a
camp of this organization was formed here,
but for some reason or another II became
inactive after year of life. Now, after
TWENTY-FIVE years have gone, the Spanish
war veterans in Wilmington have come to
realize what benefits they might secure
to themselves through organization, hence
the reviving moyymeGt.
Those in charge of the reorganization
request that all qualified through service

attend this meeting, without formality
and bring with them their discharges or
other evidence of service. There are over
two hundred men in Wilmington qualified
