TT. Ethan Allen. VT.

Fort Ethan Allen. Vermont, where
the seth Infantry Brigade and 1O3d
Infantry will go for their summer
training, July 25-August 18th, is con-
! sidered one of the most beautiful mil
ltary reserva tions in the United
States and is also one of the largest
posts of it's kind in the country. 1t

ed troops and for many years was a
Cavalry post. Some of the regiments
stationed there in the past have been
posts of its kind in the country. 1t

the 9TH Field Artillery less End Bat

cavalry. The 9TH Field Artillery be-
longs TO the lst Division and the Bird
Cavalry is n part of the C. II. O. of
the General of the Armies.
The post lies between Burlington n
city of about $4,000, and Essex juno
ton, Vt. The manufacturing town of
+ Winooski is only two miles distant
and excellent trolley service is main
tanned through the post to all three
places. The runnig time of trolley
cars to Burlington is twenty minutes.
The city has excellent thea tres. no.

The reservation Is for the most
part plateau and contains about 500
acres. Half of this is cleared and is
utilized for barracks. quarters, drill
ground, parades and rife ranges. The
remainder is wooded and cub by bril-
ole paths. walks and roads. The WI
nooski River runs along the eastern
edge. Adjoining the post is a State
owned area used by the Vermont
troops and r. o. T. c. units for their
encamjments. The climate is about
like the rest of New England during
the summer. being cool and comfort

summer the greater part of the gar
rison is moved to Camp Devens for
training purposes but one troop of
the Sd Cavalry will remain at the
post and be used for training of the
National Guard and r. o. T. c. troops.
The entire seth Brigade, consisting
Of Brigade Headquarters, Headquar-
tiers Company. 103d Infantry, Maine.
and 172d Infantry, Vermont, will be
in camp there for Is days, engaged

for troops participating but will give
them two weeks of healthy, beneficial
training under ideal conditions.
