boys in khaki in our local Memorial
day parade lead to many reminiscent
! ces, as the same thing no doubt did in
every city and town where they APP
peared. One young man. who took
part in all the doings of the Milliken

bered a slip of paper that he had pre-
served, one that probably very few of
our local, and in fact, our Maine peo-
pie have ever seen or heard of, but
which is SO complimentary to the Off
GERS of that regiment that it seems
worth while publishing. 1t is the re-
port of the United States inspecting
officer on the appearance of the 56th
Pioneers as it went through Camp
Merritt, New Jersey, on it's way TO
France and Germany. and says:
