A f SJ ,S W4 'g HISTORY OF. COMPANY B CLARENCE WEAKLEY When the boys first arrived in camp they all wondered if they would be placed in the same Com- pany with their friends. ' After BH Company was mobilized it was found to be composed of Arkansas boys with the exception of one, that one being from Independence, Mo. Fort Smith had more representatives than any other city or town of Arkansas. Scotland, Arkansas, sent almost as many boys as Fort Smith. The Medical Detachment of the Arkansas National Guard was well represented in B Company, in fact there were about forty of the boys in the Company who belong to the Arkansas National Guard. The commissioned personnel under Captain Lyons did their best to make perfect soldiers out of the boys. i VVorking under orders from Captain Lyons were Captain Jones, Lieutenant Wright, Lieutenant Ham- CLARENCE WEAKLEY mond, and Lieutenant Kennedy. These officers made . regular soldiers out of a company of urookiesn. 'At the first of the encamprnent BH Company was greatly handicapped' by having a Company full of rookies , but through the eflicient training and patience of the com- missioned officers it was soon classed as one of the best drilled and best disciplined com- panies in camp. Our Hrookiep' squad was soon abolished and each man had every appear- ance of a regular. Besides being properly drilled UB Company excelled in furnishing the camp with expert rifle shots and athletes. Two outstanding rifle shots were Willie R. Rowland of Benton, Arkansas, and Harry Stuart of Fort Smith, Arkansas. Rowland went with the Fort Leavenworth Rifle Team to Camp Perry , to compete with other rifle teams. Stuart, a student of the Red Course, qualified as one of the best shots in camp. Richard R. Nash of Wynne, Arkansas,won the lightweight wrestling championshid of the camp. In baseball George Hays of Dumas, Arkansas, won the prize for getting the most hits and runs of any player in camp. G . THE FULL PACK ' A A i M- ON THE RIFLE RANGE Page Forty-Jive O
