46 to Receive
Good Conduct
Medals Tuesday
ABBOT ENGINEER
Charming Censor
Forty-six Camp Abbot soldiers
are eligible to receive good con
duct medals (ribbons until after
the war) at a parade set for
Tuesday, the Personnel Division
has announced. Ribbons have not
arrived, but efforts are being
made to expedite their delivery
before Tuesday.
The number receiving ribbons
represents a two-month quota,
the awarding of ribbons in Sep
tember having been cancelled be
cause of a conflict with the dedi
cation ceremony.
Recipients will include:
