From The Indianapolis News, Tuesday, August 22, 1916: A recruiting squad of seven officers and twenty-one enlisted men, on border duty at Llano Grande, Texas with the Indiana National Guard, arrived in Indianapolis this morning. According to Indiana Adjutant General Franklin L. Bridges, they will be assigned to the six recruiting offices that will be opened around the state. United States Army Lieutenant Phil Remington, who is in charge of recruiting activities, is preparing posters to urge enlistments in the national guard to fill the ranks of guardsmen on the border caused by the mustering out of men who have dependent relatives and those who are college students who will be returning home in time to enter school. Thirty-five Guardsmen with dependent relatives have already returned to Indianapolis to be mustered out of service at Fort Benjamin Harrison.
