Company B, 10th battalion, Mime
sofa Home Guard, was formally mus

members of the command by Captain
VIM. Parker, who organized and COM
manded the company during its per-
iod of service.
Like most units in the Home
Guard service, Company B, is among
the last of the military forces of the
state to be dispensed with, and al
though the Home Guard was muster
ed out in January, 1920, the dis
charges were not issued to the men
until Monday.

one of the strongest companies in it's
class in the state. 1t was mustered
into service on January 1, 1919, and
remained on active duty throughout
the war;

Captain VIM. Parker; LIST Lieut.. JOS
eph Cardinal, who later resigned;

ted LIST. Lieut.. to succeed Lieut.. Car

During the forest fires in North.
ern Minnesota in the fall of 1919, the
Sank Centre company was sent on
| duty to Kimberly, where for eight
days they aided in fighting the fires
! and on this occasion are known to
! have prevented great loss Of pro-
perty and probably life.
Not all members of the company
were present Monday evening to re-
ceive their discharges. Those who
