Henderson County Boys Training at Camp Caswell Given Eight-Day Passes for Holidays, 1917

“Sixth Company Boys at Home,” from the French Broad Hustler, Hendersonville, N.C., Dec. 27, 1917

Hendersonville has had quite a military air during the holidays as a result of the return of the boys from Fort Caswell, where they have been in training. Practically all the boys from this county are home except those who were punished for leaving without leave of absence, as was stated in the Hustler last week.

It is understood that the punishment of the boys who visited their homes here without leave consisted mostly of a fine of $40 each, though this information is not official.

Henderson county has a large enlistment in this company, which was a local organization.

The boys have been granted eight days’ pass. The list of names of those going with the Sixth Company Coast Artillery Corps from Henderson and surrounding counties follows. This list does not designate official ranks, transfers, promotions, demotions, discharges, etc., which could not be had officially.
