- Just as we are going to press a collection
of very beautiful photographs was received from Home Guard Company
No. 51, known as the Lasky Home Guard Company, Hollywood, California.
We regret exceedingly that it is utterly impossible for us at
this late date to produce at least one of these photographs in
this Benefit Number of our paper. We will reserve them for one
of the good things to be used in a future issue. From what the
pictures show, they are certainly setting the pace for Home Guard
movement in their part of the State, and there must be some very
progressive members connected with this company.
Commanding Officer is Cecil B. deMille; First Lieutenant and drill master, Henry Woodward; Second Lieutenant, James Neill. From the rawest of untrained privates, Lieut. Woodward, assisted by his Second Lieutenant, James Neill, has raised the entire company to a point of efficiency, great and it is a fact that of the noteworthy larger number of men who have enlisted in the regular branches of the service of the Government at this time, all but two or three have won rank as non-commissioned officers. A number of the members of the Lasky Home Guard were formerly in the United States service.
