1.
This is one of a series of newspaper and magazine items over the years about Will's work for the Army Corps of Engineers. You can find the whole list here:
WILL'S ARMY CAREER
Formerly I was putting the whole list in each of the pages of the series, but there got to be just too many to continue with that.

Lieutenant H. L. Boatner has been relieved from duties at the school of the line in Fort Benning, and will proceed to New York to sail September 5 for duty in China.
I was curious about Lt. Boatner. Wikipedia says that Haydon LeMaire Boatner did indeed go to China, and that he became fluent in Mandarin, and that he commanded troops in Burma in World War II.
