Four DeKalb Lieutenants Back in 1916

This continues my post from December 26, 2015.

From the 29 March 1916 True republican "Four DeKalb County Boys Lieutenants."

Lt. Clayton Waterman is now in Vermont after being in China after service in Arizona.  He is engaged as an instructor in military tactics at Wellington, Connecticut.

All four lieutenants are in line for advancement because of the invasion of Mexico.

The other lieutenants:

Lt. Frank M. Kennedy of Hinckley who is in the aviation corps.

Lt. Cedric W. Lewis of Sandwich

Lt. Elvin H. Wagner who served in the Spanish-American War in Cuba and was stationed in Manila.

These last three are now stationed in Panama, part of 15,000 American troops there.
