Annual Report of the Adjutant-General of the State of North Carolina : For the Year 1908 (Classic Reprint) by Unknown Author
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Adjutant-General of the State of North Carolina: For the Year 1908
Sir: - In obedience to law, I have the honor to submit to you herewith the annual report of this department for the calendar year 1908.
The National Guard of North Carolina consists of 2,454 officers and men, constituting the land and naval forces. There are 244 officers and 2,210 enlisted men, including officers of the general staff, officers of the land forces of the line, and officers of the naval militia. The total of enlisted men includes both land and naval forces, hospital corps and detachments, and regimental bands, the aggregate exceeding the number for the preceding year by 86.
Having had several opportunities to form a fairly accurate judgment as to the general condition of the Guard, I have no hesitation in saying that it shows considerable improvement over what it was in former years. It is armed with the best pattern of modern rifles, and is amply supplied to make its equipment suitable for active service in the field. In the matter of uniforms, very few complaints now reach this office, and where the proper care has been taken of military clothing, scarcely anything more is now needed to enable the companies to make a good appearance. Of course, it is well known that some companies look more to preservation of uniforms and equipment than others, and from this it necessarily follows that some companies show up better in public than others.
