ILLINOIS.
The Illinois Relief Columns took a prominent part in the Memorial Day Parade, of which a report will be made for the October Bulletin by Dr. Blech. To Dr. Blech’s energy, interest and work much of the success of this Illinois Legion is due.
One hundred and sixty men in Khaki uniforms took part. The Legion was under the command of Director J. B. Weintraub and marched in the Fifth Division, of which Division Dr. Blech was Marshal, assisted by the regular staff officers of the Red Cross Corps. Captain J. Ralph Shook, U. S. A. Medical Service, acted as Division Adjutant. He has given the Legion much encouragement and says of it that it has done as well as any hospital corps, regular or volunteer, he has ever seen.
