Harry Bathiany, a well known Newport boy, is coming home with the
Third Infantry to take station at Ft Thomas, with the rank of Second Lieutenant,
having been assigned to Company C. Bathiany has gained the shoulder straps by
strict application to military duty and a desire to succeed. He enlisted in the
Second Kentucky at the breaking out of the Spanish War and when this regiment of
volunteers was mustered out, he re-enlisted.
He was made Sergeant of Company D, First Regular Infantry, and then decided to try for a commission. He passed the examination successfully and got his papers as Second Lieutenant while in the Philippines.
