Rossman, Fred (Wisconsin Rifle Team – 19 Aug
1915)
Fred Rossman, the crack shot of Co. A, spent last week at Camp
Douglass shooting with 36 other crack shots for the honor of making the
Wisconsin team to the national shoot. Fred landed in 11th place, having been
tied for 10th and being shoved down to 11th in rapid fire. This is some record
to make when it is considered that 36 of the best marksmen out of all the
Wisconsin National Guard were there to compete for the honor. Rossman made the
rifle team and will go to Florida sometime in September to take part in the
national shoot at which time the picked riflemen of all the National Guards of
every state in the union will be there to take part.
