Benning requests readers with books or documents from GAR posts in La Crotee and Wirrtonsin to contact him at 1935 Main Street. The drive aims to confirm veterans on decorating lists and obtain proof for uncertain cases, with requests for numerous copies and additional records of many individuals across wars.
