French and English Officers Are Very Much Pleased With Efficiency Of Officers At Camp Cody

I am perfectly delighted with the splendid work of Camp Cody officers. Everything is first class, and we have received such royal treatment here,” said Maj. L. C. Eckenfelder, chief of a group of French and English officers, assisted by Lieutenant Col. H. H. McGee and Maj. S. J. Sutherland, who has just returned from the French front, detailed by the war department to conduct a three-weeks’ school for senior and staff officers.

Major Eckenfelder’s party includes Maj. E. L. McKine, D. S. O., British general staff; Maj. L. C. Benns, British army; Maj. Bertrand, French army; Capt. E. C. J. Muntz, French general staff, Col. McGee and Maj. Sutherland being detailed from the American army.

The school will continue until about the middle of July, when the foreign officers will proceed to other divisions of the southern department. In a very pleasant interview with the editor of Trench and Camp, Major Eckenfelder said many kind things concerning the 34th division. – Camp Cody, Trench and Camp Newspaper – July 4, 1918
