isn't subtle enough to fool any
one into thinking it means any
thing else.)

Col. Raymond's Division
.0ne Of First in Germany

Friends of Col. Julian E. Ray
mond of Washington, who Is serv-
ing with an armored division in
France, have been advised he was
with one of the first units to fight
its way onto German soil
Col. Raymond, who left high
school here to join the Army during
the World War, and served in
France as a private with combat
unit, is a graduate of Central High
School and the Military Academy
at West Point.
At Central he was rated the best
cadet officer in the corps, and later
when he was in the Regular Army
stationed at Fort Benning, Ga, he
was rated one of the best infantry
officers in the United States.
After leaving West Point, Col.
Raymond attended various Army
schools. and for four years was Ii
brarian of the Army War College
When the Army was reorganized
prior to Pearl Harbor, Col Raymond
