The 29th Division Military Police
Company was the outstanding unit OF
the District National Guard for the
training year 1936-1937 in the mat
ter of attendance and will be awarded
the trophy presented to the militia
by the District of Columbia Depart
ment of Veterans of Foreign Wars.
This unit finished with an average
attendance score of 1918 per cent.
Next in line were the Headquarters
Company. 29th Division, 9l.39, and
the Headquarters and Service Com
pany, l2lst Engineers, 90.86 per cent.
While there were units higher than
the winner, they could not win the
trophy, because in presenting the
trophy for annual award, it was stipu-
lated that it was to be competed for
by companies, batteries and troops.
The units with the higher percentages
were the Division Quartermaster
Platoon, Headquarters Company, 104th
QIartermaster Regiment, 97.65; Head
quarters Detachment, Special Troops,
29th Division, 9491; Headquarters
Detachment, 29th Division, 1890, and
the Medical Department Detachment,
29th Division, 93.57.
These companies were honorably
mentioned in orders announcing the
trophy winner. The trophy will be
formally presented at special cere-
monies to be arranged later.
Orders have been issued that all
ordnance materiel which has been
issued to the Guard will be inspected
to determine its condition for service.
Dates have been set for each COM
mand and representatives of the
units will be present when the officers
and men of the 3Oth Ordnance Com

duct the examinations.
