Will Be Held in Pember-
 ton, Mass, July 30

New Haven, Conn, July 15 LF- The 14th U. s. Engineers Veterans association to which many Connecti- cut veterans belong, will hold a re- union at Pemberton, Mass, on July 30, to celebrate the tenth anniver- sary of the sailing of the regiment for Franch.

After landing at Liver pool the regiment was selected and taken to London to parade on August 15, their appearance being the first of foreign troops bearing arms in London since William the Conqueror in 1888.
 Two days later the regiment cross- ed the English channel and were at- tached to the 9th corps, 3rd British army, just south of Arras where it served throughout the winter of 1917-1S, suffering it's first casualty on September 13
 On March 21, 1918, it was in the path of heavy German drive against the allied front, at which time the conduct and service of the American engineer troops won them the highest praise and citations of the British high command.
 The regiment a short time later joined the United States forces con- centrating in the vicinity of Chateau Thierry. It later was transferred to the St. Mihiel front and then to the Argonne.
 Sailing for home from Bordeaux on April 17, 1919, the regiment land ed in Boston on April 27, just 20 months to the day from its sailing date from New York in 1917.
 Now, eight years after being mus tered out, the surviving members of the old regiment are to meet at Pemberton. The days program will include a number of athletic events. Former soldiers from every New England state, New York, New Jer- sey, Pennsylvania and Ohio have signified their intention of being present.
