Virginians at Rio Grande Highlight New Year Iowan Guard Review
General Leonard Wood would praise the Virginia National Guard after their four mile march near the Rio Grande amid a New Year celebration for the Iowa brigade. The night featured 1916 fading, 1917 rising, and a formal program with bands, a holy name chorus, and a staged death of the old year. Fifteen men in Field Hospital No. 56 received furlough for a duck hunt, as army privileges spread through the holiday season.
