ACTIVITIES.

The company participated in several public functions, such as flag raisings, public funerals, Red Cross work; in fact, the company was on hand whenever there was anything doing. It conducted military funerals for members of our company who died and assisted at the funerals of several of the boys who died in the various military camps. No one ever asked in vain for the services of Company A. Kansas State Guard. We were ready day or night, to do what could be done to the best of our ability, and I wish to state that it is a great pleasure to have had the honor of commanding this company.
