The historian, realizing that without
the cooperation of the ex-service men
fine proposed work will not be a sue
cess. urges every white world war
soldier in Terrell county to assist in
the work by promptly filling in the
ouestionnaire and returning it at the
earliest convenience that work may be
carried on.
The data obtained from the ques-
tionnaire will be compiled into his
torv, or record, to be used by those
who desire such information at flu
ture date, and will be the property OF
the Davis-Daniel Post.
Veterans in the county are urged
to consider the value OF such records
for future use, and do all that is
possible to help make them complete.
1t is a work that no one man can
compile by himself, and but for the
information given by the men them
selves it would be almost impossible
to secure any record of value.
A large number of ex-service men
have had their discharge certificates
recorded in the office of the clerk of
court, Walter S. Dozier, who was
kind enough to record them free OF
charge, but many have not been re-
corded Some have been sent in to
the historian for record, and it seems
that several had not been recorded
when they were returned to the own
ers. Ii your discharge certificate has
not been recorded Ca few minutes in
the clerks office will reveal the fact),
have this valuable paper placed on rec
ord without delay. 1t may be mis-
placed sometime or lost by fire, as has
been the case with some.
Those desiring further information
as to the proposed history are request
ed to get in touch with Commander
Karl Thompson or Mr.. Petty, the his
torlan, at once.
