Maj. Robt. L. McGill WWII
Battery "B", 45th Division,
Cherokee, Okla., Sept., 1940
Many of those National Guardsmen were not even 16 years old! They lied about their age to get the $1.00 per-month! Some were gotten out by parents. Others decided to go to Texas & Louisiana. Anyway, there was a big parade, down Main street & pictures were taken. Many served until the Victory was won. Several did not return. Col. Tom Lewis was the Commander, but several officers under him became either of the same rank or higher.
