To: Commanding Officer, Battery D, 129th Field Artillery (Through Commanding General, 10th F. A. Brigade) Subject: Commendation. 1. The following extract from the report of the Commanding Officer, 110th Mobile Ordnance Repair Shop, is quoted for your information; The matériel of Battery D, 129th Field Artillery, was found to be in a most excellent condition; * * The matériel of this battery was in superior condition to that of any other battery of the two regiments, and evidenced the fact that unusual care had been exercised by the commissioned and enlisted personnel of this battery, resulting in the highest state of efficiency in the care of its Ordnance Matériel. 11 2. The above report is of a kind that the Command- ing General of this Division expects, but too infrequently receives.
