Lieut. Edwin F. Gibson
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: Many friends were gratified to learn of the safe arrival of Lieut. E.F. Gibson "over there," the news being sent in a message to his parents, Supt. and Mrs. S.J. Gibson. For the present his address will be Lieut. E.F. Gibson, Sanitary Detachment No. 2, Forty-first Division. A.E. F., via New York.
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: Thomas L. Buckley has reported for duty at his home post of Philadelphia, where he will again go aboard ship, after spending a 15-day furlough with his cousin, Mrs. Margaret Golden, in this city, with whom he made his home for a year after coming over from Ireland to America in 1904. Before entering the navy Mr. Buckley served in the Seventh United States Cavalry--Gen. Custer's old regiment--and was stationed in the Philippine Islands. He has maneuvered all through the troublesome Moro country. After receiving an honorable discharge from the Seventh Regiment he enlisted in the Pacific fleet of the United States Navy as naval bugler. Through purchase he secured an honorable discharge with excellent character from the navy, only to be recalled into active service at the outbreak of war with Germany. He has visited many foreign ports and places and experienced many pleasures, but at no time or place has he enjoyed as much real happiness as was crowded into the fortnight spent in Norwich. He expressed great love for the little city and his friends here and promised to return again as soon as the chance offered.
