ACTIVITIES.

Company C was very active in the war work campaigns. Some were on every Committee of Liberty loan, Red Cross, and all war work. All were pushing for victory, of course; however, many of the personnel were farmer boys, they could not do as much as those in town, because of the shortage of help, but all were doing their full share.

ACTIVITIES.

Company D drilled twice a week until the state and county health ban because of the influenza and later, lacking barracks, inclemency of the weather made it inadvisable. Members of the company were detailed to assist in vigorously soliciting united war fund contributions, and the company as a unit and as individuals assisted in all the patriotic war work possible.
