WELCOME TO RAINBOW DIVISION

When Famous Fighting Force Returns Home Early in April. Plans are being made to welcome home the Rainbow division when it returns to this country from overseas early in April. Many Indiana boys, including a dozen or more from Jaaper county, are with this division, in an Indiana regiment, and Indianapolis is planning to welcome the boys home in a fitting manner. . Quite a number of soldiers are now being returned as casuals who have not been wounded or in hospital, but are made up in companies of a few >men taken from different units but whom are all from the same section of the country and are sent" home as a casual company for demobilization at a camp in their home state. Casual company No. 1481, made up of 112 privates and 2 officers, all from Indiana, is on the Santo Olivia, which sailed from/ Brest March 16, and is due in New York March 28. It is possible that the Indiana boys who were with the 30th (Wildcat) division, which is made up almost entirely of national guard soldiers from southern states, comprise this company of casuals.
