Randy,

The article is "A Soldier of Song in Word War I: William Howe Ruebush,
Virginia National Guard" by Dale F. Harter and appears in vol. 50, no. 3
(Summer 2001).  The image on page 110 shows Ruebush leading the 116th
Infantry Band down a street in Newport News after returning to the U.S.
in 1919.  There is also a picutre of the band and regiment in France on
page 104.

In one of the last issues of the Virginia Cavalcade, there was an
article about Will Ruebush on Dayton, and if I recall, there was a photo
of him leading a National Guard Band down the streets of Harrisonburg
ca. 1916-1918.  If anybody recalls this, can you tell me what band it
was?  I think I recall it was the 116th Infantry and that he took it to
France when the regiment went over, but it is all very foggy in my
brain.
