The 43^rd Construction Battalion, as indicated from the foregoing, has constructed a large number of projects, many of which were complicated and involved, during the short period of time they were under the direction of the Public Works Officer. The way in which this battalion has been able to "move into high gear" on short notice and complete a project so expeditiously, conclusively indicates good administrative ability and an excellent construction organization. The Public Works Officer wishes to congratulate all officers and men who were concerned with the construction of these various projects on the excellence of their work and the manner in which the assignments were carried out.
