FIRST LIGHT BATTERY, ISCl-hscr, .S(j:i RECRUITS. Very many of the recruits served with the Battery so short a periodof time that they did not estaV^lish the feeling of fraternity and comrade-ship and love for the Battery enjoyed by the original three-year men and there-enlisted veterans. Many of the recruits have most excellent records, and the historiandeeply regrets that he has been unable to communicate with all of themand so obtain their portraits and ancestral military history. After the war the recruits scattered over the country and with fewexceptions have not attended the reunions, their addresses not being knownto the historian or the secretary of the Veteran Association of the First Con-necticut Light Battery.
