MAJOR LAMPEBT LEAVES FORT SEWARD:
i
Major Lester L.Lampert, with Mrs.Lampert and Lbster.Jr.,
left for the States on the "Princess Louise" yesterday bound for Fort
Benning,Ga., where the Major is to take the course at the
School.Major Lampert came to Ft.Seward two years ago as theCaptain
of "E" Company,was made a Major (permanent) on July 1st, 19<!U, servea
as E.ft R. Officer for the Post,and then followed Major Clark as C.O.
As the Senior Major of the Batallion.Major Lampert was detailed to
make a Ihctical Inspection of all Alaskan posts last year,and ful
filled his duties with great credit. Under his abie guidance . ort
Seward was brought to such a point of excellence^ it received
official commendation from the Commanding General of the Corps Area,
Maj.Gen.Morton,and the Inspector-General,Col.Phillips both of whom
expressed the opinion that the local Fort was one of the best condi
tioned Army Posts that they had ever inspected. Suclj favorable ju ge
ments were earned in large measure by the untiring labor of Major
Lampert.Ihe Major will be missed at this Post,as will also Mrs.Lam
pert.to whom belongs a great deal of credit for the success of the
various social functions at Fort Seward* . .
We feel sure that the fellow-officers of the Major at
Fort Banning are going to receiv- a wonderful impression of J?or '
ins. life in Alaskan service, for to the Major belongs the distinction
of being the only Fort Seward officer to really shoot a bear (and bn g
him home),and as a fisherman the Major had old Isaak Walton^looking
like a piker,-for the Major got *em,even if he had to club m to death.
We all wish him the best of good fortune in his new duties.
' Capt.Raymond Edwards is at present in com mand of the
Post Dending the arrival of Maj.Donaldson from Fort Liscum,Major Pon
alds'on ?s now on his way here, and should reach Fort Seward about Sat
urday or Sunday*
