Government service

Engineers desiring to be of service to the Government will find an opportunity by bringing to the attention of young technical men, artisans, and others who may be interested in enlisting in an engineering unit, the organization at Washington Barracks, D. C., on December 14, 1917, of the First Replacement Regiment of Engineers, the specific purpose of which is to keep all engineering units of the Army at full enlistment strength during the period of the war. This regiment has not only the responsibility of finding men to fill up depleted ranks in the various units, but it must also fit the men to step into the work of trained, efficient and disciplined soldiers.
