As recorded in Vol. 3, No. 4, May 1982 LAGS Quarterly
Among the many Wisconsin men who have served their country and whose memory we honor on Memorial Day are those of perhaps one of the oldest military organizations in the country - The Governor's Guard Association of Wisconsin. Organized in 1872 and later sworn in as Co. B, Third Regiment of the Wisconsin National Guard. Its members served in the Spanish American War, the Phillipine Insurrection, the Mexican Expedition and Word Wars I and II. During the 1st World War the company served with the 32nd Infantry Division, known as the Red Arrow Dividion.
When the Mexican War Call was issued on June 18, 1916, 84 La Crosse area residents were summoned for service. The members of the Governor's Guard at that time were as follows:
