Book, 32nd Division, Wisconsin National Guard, 1939Description
This is a book of the National Guard of the United States Naval Militia for the State of Wisconsin of 1939.
It has a Certificate in it that states that Delwin M and Avyle K. Boom of Waupun, WI as of this date of September 10, 1939 is a member of C. E. 135th Medical Regiment of WNG, signed by the Commanding Officer, Leon Slegleburger. (spelling unsure).
There are two photo's of the Company E, Second Battalion of the 135th Medical Regiment of Waupun, WI.
The 3rd picture tells the Factual History:
Company E, 135th Medical regiment, was organized in 1926 as Ambulance Company No. 184. It founder was Captain Wm. A. Deerhake, M. C., who had come to Waupun from the command of Ambulance Company No. 183 in Milwaukee. As such, perhaps, this unit might be considered an offspring of that organization.
Captain Deerhake was assisted for a time by Captain E. W. Hooker, M. A. C., later by Captain L. Mowers, M. A. C., of Ripon. In 1934, the present commanding officer, Captain L. S. Eagleburger, M. C., succeeded Captain Deerhake. Captain Mowers was followed in 1937 by Lieutenant L. J. Campbell, M. A. C.
In addition to its regular attendance at the field camps of instruction at Camp Williams, the company saw gruelling service with the rest of the regiment in the 1936 Michigan maneuvers. It was during the same year that the old designation of the 184th was changed to Company E.
