Guy was in Company "A," 34TH Battalion, Canton, Kansas. This company was organized as Home Guard in November 1917, and reorganized into the State Guard on February 15, 1918.The unit held regular drills twice weekly for the entire company, and officers' school each week until June 20 . For two weeks prior to that date the company drilled daily and discontinued drill thereafter for three weeks, while squads went to the surrounding farms each evening to assist in harvesting and threshing the wheat crop. Exhibition drills were held on all legal holidays either at the armory or in surrounding towns. Company A participated in the battalion drill at Lindsborg, Kansas on September 2, 1918 and was reviewed by Adjutant General Charles S. Huffman at that time.
Our company furnished twenty-five United States service men, several of whom won early promotions by virtue of the proficiency in drill attained while members of this company.
