BOYS IN THE SERVICE
The Daily Times is in receipt of a
letter from Harold Chadwick of Bat
tery F. 82d field artillery, Fort Bliss,
Texas, under date of March 25, in
which he says that in the course of
fourteen days he is to he discharged.
He will return to Cordova, and writes:
“I can hardly tell you in writing how
much I appreciate keeping posted with
the Daily Times. I have received the
papers regularly for the whole fifteen
months I have been here on the Bor
der. They s*re helped to keep me
letagfng to get back home to Alaska,
and the time is near at hand. ‘Oh, boy!’
when I get my papers and can say
'Well, here comes my train,’ watch me
ramble.”
Irving Kennedy, a former Cordova
boy with the supply troop. First cav
alry, stationed at Douglas, Ariz., also
writes as follows: “We are still on
the. Mexican border, and don’t know
w"/ our cavalry will move. The
17th cavalry, that is here with us, is
going to Honolulu April 1, and the lflth
infantry is coming here to take its
place. I think I will get my discharge
by May 1. I was thinking about going
to Honolulu with the 17th cavalry, but
I would have to stay three years, and
that is too long. I may re-enlist in the
coast artillery. Suppose all the Cor
dova boys are returning from the
army."
