Relatives and Friends See Soldiers Leave Gillespie County
The 54 draftees marching from the Local Board office to the depot for Camp Travis drew the largest crowds yet seen in Gillespie County. A mile-long procession, bands, and speeches accompanied the departure, with hundreds bidding farewell as the train carried the young men and their hopes for safety and return. Among those listed are Albert Ahrens, Waldemar Jacob Beyer, George E. Kott, Adolf Erfurt, and many others from Gillespie and nearby counties, joined by Kimble and Blanco quotas.
