Governor's Visit to Camp Devens Is a Mystery
Governor Marcus Hi Nolcomb and Frank Hagarty toured Camp Devens in an automobile visiting HQ companies and the 303d Machine Gun Battalion, stirring speculation about political motives during Liberty Loan day. The visit included a lunch with staff, but time prevented further tours. Plentice of Shelton earned a promotion to first lieutenant in the 204th infantry, while Plentice’s unpatriotic utterances led to confinement awaiting court martial. Sergeant Nimke of Torrington was recently sentenced to thirty years for the same charges.
