S8th Division Prepares for Oversea Duty at Camp Dodge
The S8th Division at Camp Dodge Iowa readies for overseas duty with a large transfer of about 4000 men from the 163rd Depot Brigade into the division, forming a development battalion and assigning new recruits from Funston and other camps.

Conscientious objectors, including Mennonites, face hearings, and 500 plus soldiers classified as nearly unfit will be reexamined for possible transfer to division units in France.
