OUR BEST WISHES GO WITH THEM:
"/hen she left for the South today the
old MSpoke” here with her three very prominent residents of Fort
Seward, who are shaking the snows of Alaska from their shoes fofr

Captain- Lister H♦Barnhill,now on his way to join the
24th Infantry at either Coiambus,N.Mex. or Columbus, Ga<,(he himself
doesn't know which).leaves behind him a record as a Rifle Instructor
that will,without dcubt, stand for many long years, and a company that
enjoys its distinction as one of the best shooting aggregations in
the Army,largely because of Capt.Barnhill's painstaking labors,in
finite tact, and unlimited patience on the Target Range. The Captain
was introduced to Alaska first in 1920,being detailed to conduct a
party of recruits xo Fort St-Michael,but immediately upon delivering
his animated oackage at that post he was ordered to Fort Seward,
where he served as Company Commander, and as Post Commander,(in the
absence of Majo»Lampert),until November of 1921. He was then trans
ferred to Fort IMsrum.and served there under Major Donaldsonfuntil
the Fort Liscum contingent was changed to Fort Seward. Back again
at his home station,Captai n Barnhill continued to manage the af
fairs of Co.'nF" in an able manner, end set a remarkable pace by the
success of his work on the Rifle Range. He leaves Alaska for ser
vice in the States with the good wishes of us all,and we hope for
him the finest results in his new regiment. May he make Col.MacNabb,
the Rifle Instructor par excellence of the Army.,now in command of
the 25th Infantry.-the deadliest xivals of the 24thf-look sharply

Capt.W&iVter von Grerop is leaving the Army to return
to private life. The Captain has served with our regiment for al
most 6 years,as a:i officer of the 21pt at Ft .Douglas, Utah,-of the
59th,at Ft-Liscum,-and of the 7th Inf. here at Fort Seward. He was
universally regarded as a most efficient officer,-able,courteous,
cordial.His excellent work as E.& R. Officer at Ft.Liscum was much
appreciated by the command, and as the Commanding Officer of HF!‘ Co*,
here at Ft.Seward,for a short time,succeeding Capt.Barnhill,he ser
ved with the greatest credit to himself,and the satisfaction of his
men. We are very sorry to see him go, and trust that tho greatest
of success will be his in the civil life upon which he is entering*
To Sgt•Timothy Hashy,Retired,the Post bid3 a fond
farewell .We're going to miss him who was the life of every gother
ing,and one of the finest morale-upholders ofi the Fort, A born en
tertainer, an able story-teller(the Sgt.actually believed most of
the tall ones he told),-a nervy,resourceful,energetic,highly effi
cient "old sohool Army man",-we know he's bound to prosper.
