"Lt.C.J.Cristoforos: A call has been issued by the commanding general for volunteers for a special battalion to be formed at once. Now this battalion will go into training for a particular combat duty overseas. Those men who can pass the severe requirements of this unit will be assured of immediate acts of service. The work involves close combat with the enemy, and only those men who are prepared to kill or be killed should apply. Those who accept it will be highly trained and will have every chance of survival. But it must be understood, the work is above and beyond the line of duty."
