Gentlemen of the ACWGC:
I wish to bring to your attention the recent achievement of Captain Ephraim Burton, 4th Cavalry Brigade, 3(2Cav) Division, XVI Corps, Army of the Tennessee. Captain Burton (a Nom du Guerre for Yvelin Maxime) will graduate this week from St. Cyr, the storied French Military Academy. Upon graduation, Captain Burton will transition to the French Artillery School for a year before seeing service with the French Army.
I will add to these laurels that despite the rigorous course of instruction he has undertaken these past months, Captain Burton has still found time to answer the AotT monthly muster as well as participating in a game or two. I, for one, sincerely appreciate his effort in this regard.
Please join me in congratulating this fine officer!
