Sergeant Dennis Burns

St Patrick's Day passed away quietly, although there were many
who made a holiday of the day, and an enjoyable one too. Everyone sported a bit
of green, some of the badges worn by the boys at the post being exceptionally
neat.
Sergeant Dennis Burns, Company M, received a few days ago, from his sister in Ireland, a vial containing genuine shamrocks, from his home in the Emerald Isle. Sergt. Burns broke the vial Thursday morning and distributed the shamrocks among his intimate friends, who were much pleased with the gift.
