BATTERY "D" 129TH FIELD ARTILLERY KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI FROM THE OFFICE OF ERNEST L. SCHMIDT October 25, 1945 933 MULBERRY STREET Dear Friends: On Saturday Night, November 10, 1945, at the President Hotel (Aztec Room), 6:30 P. M., Battery "D" will get together for their regular Armistice Reunion. As far as we know now, "Captain Harry" will not be on hand, but there will be some of our buddies present whom we have not seen for years, and that in itself should be worth the price of your dinner. Please fill in the enclosed card and mail it at once. Here it is at last! Your official Battery "D" Membership Card. Prior to this date at least 50,000 (more or less) have claimed the honor of belonging to Dizzy "D". This card will put us in the Select Class, so guard it well. There is no charge for the enclosed card, but if you lose it and want a duplicate, enclose a ten dollar bill or your certified check for a like amount. We would like to give everyone, who was ever in Battery "D" officially, one of these cards. So if you know of any of the boys who have not received a card, tell them to get in touch with me. For your own protection, have your name typed in the proper place and then sign the card in the space provided for member signature. Yours very truly, Ernie Schmidt
