)
The Col. Comdg. Learns with pain and regret that many of the
soldiers of his command are addicted to the vice of Gambling.
Freedom from this vice strengthens man’s patriotism, infuses
better discipline among the Soldiery and leaves an untarnished record for the
friends at home to praise.
It is therefore made the duty of each company commander to see
that his men are free from this vice and any refusal to comply with the spirit
of this order will be noted and the delinquent rapidly censored or punished.
