1451 - L Aug. 23:4/5 - After the funeral of Corporal Wyman on Aug. 18, the
Grays were invited to the residence of Captain Paddock to partake of re-
freshments hospitably provided by the captain. Whilst there, Orderly Ser-
geant J. Burt Parsons was surprised by the presentation of a ring and a
diamond pin, on behalf of the company, by George Hoyt. A plain gold ring
was also presented to the commissary of the company, Sergeant Early, by
Corporal Briggs. The presents were entirely unexpected and were fitting
tokens of the esteem in which the recipients are held by their comrades.
