A review of Camp Cody’s 34th division, made notable by several variations from other held recently, took place Saturday morning at the polo grounds, southwest of Deming. General Blocksom and the division staff were at the reviewing point, having as their guest of honor Governor Keith Neville, of Nebraska.
One point wherein it differed from earlier reviews was in that all transportation of the division was out for review and inspection, consuming a much greater amount of time that previous reviews. The combined division field trains and the trains of the three brigades were involved. In addition each battalion had its combat wagons, medical carts ad ration carts following.
Brigadier General H. A. Allen was in command of the Camp Cody troops. – El Paso Herald Newspaper – Sunday, April 21, 1918
