LOCAL EX-sERvICE MEN TO
 ATTEND "5eT1J" REUNTON

Norwich eX-service men who served with the 56th regiment are anticipating the second annual convention of the reg iment which is to be held next Sunday at Pleasure Beach, Bridgeport. The 56th regiment, which was formed at Fort Wright and Fort Terry December 20. l917 included the old Third and Fifth companies of this city.
 Nearly four years have elapsed since the regiment was organized from men who answered the call of their country from nearly every city, town and vil- lage in Connecticut. Next Sunday 1900 of these men will go to Pleasure Beach, Bridgeport, to attend the second annual convention of the regiment and to re- count once more the thrilling events of those four intervening years; events ranging from the blood soaked, battle fields of France, the mud-soaked camps of Brest and through that long period of reconstruction almost as trying as the | weary days of waiting in France. Once more those men will leave their homes to relive the battles and trials through which tEe 56th regiment passed at Cha | teau-Thierry and the Argonne Forest The 56th Regiment was the first com plete all Connecticut regiment to be i formed in the state, and the only all | Connecticut regiment to fight through the American activities in France, and l to return to this country as a unit The regiment saw 101 days of fighting on i two American fronts.
 There will be athletic events. includ- i Ing baseball games, boxing bouts and other events.
 The purpose of this convention is best expressed in the introduction to the souvenir programs. which will be sone 1 of the features of the meet:
 "The purpose of this convention is to weld the members of the 56th Regiment into one body, and thereby to perpetuate that spirit which gave it honor on the field of battle and gained for it the un- dying respect of the thousands of it's supporters in the state of Connecticut To perpetuate that spirit that it may be commended to a never ending love of country in peace as it so nobIy dena- onstrated. in war.
 During the great world conflict in which the United States played such a prominent part. the 56th regiment was fortunate in being able to play it's small
 part in achieving those principles for
 which this country fought The achiev. ing of those principles. was accomplish.
 ed only through the sacrifice and won.
 derful spirit of the soldiers who made
 up the army of the United States, anC to retain that spirit and willingness tC . aid our fellow man is privilege and duty which we owe to the country. anC : to our state, and to the respective citie.
