Sergeant August Reis
 

Kentucky Post, Monday, 18 April 1904, page 8


Sergeant August Reis, Company I, the well known Provost Sergeant of the post, who will go to Alaska with his company, has had an interesting experience in that region before. In 1889 the Sergeant with two comrades, who were discharged at the same time at Ft Snelling, Minn. went to the Klondike to realize a fortune.

After 19 months experience, of a rugged variety the Sergeant returned to the United States and rejoined his old regiment, where he has since remained.
