1 i 'R A. -1 --gg- if-rg El. A K THE JEFFERSONIAN O ' X9 r Eg. f .5 L . ' I BATTERY O OF THE OMTO l I On July S, we made our entrance to Jefferson Barracks and the remainder of the week was spent in organizing the Battery for work. On the following Monday preliminary J i V 1 l l fi y. ' 4 i 4 .L fl Y Pi i i ll .I 1. il li ll training in horsemanship was begun. For two weeks our time was taken up by such work as would fit us for the big test4-our trip to Arcadia. Every morning we spent in equitation drill, then in the afternoon we were taken to the gun sheds, and, aided by the expert knowl- edge ofthe Regulars, we began to be initiated into the mysteries of Field Artillery. Monday morning, July 26, Battery CH started on the first hike ever taken by a CMTC battery. Twenty miles seems an extremely short day's travel, but by the time a stop was made for noon mess, the entire battery had heartily agreed with General Sherman 's definition of war. At 1:15 the column was again on the march. One tune alone beat through the minds of our men-f'Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, The Boys Are Marching. About 4:30 p.m. the final halt for the day was made and by this time the tune had changed to Horne, Sweet Home? However, we were not long in dreamland for the pangs of hunger soon drove all thoughts of home from our minds. After our evening repast, we pitched our pup tents-our first day in bivouac, our first night on the cold, cold ground. At 4 a.m. a shrill whistle split the early morning air, simultaneously several score of sleepy, touseled heads peered out from the tent fiaps. In a very short time the camp re- sembled an ant hill-tents fell as though in a cyclone. Soon the encampment had been broken and we were on our way. CUnbeknown to us, Tuesday was to be the best day of the tripj. It was an exceedingly hot day and by 10 oiclock almost everyone was famished for water. It was at this time that our first piece of real luck assailed us-we found an artesian well from which cool, refreshing water was bubbling. The remainder of the day's travel was uneventful until we arrived in DeSoto. Our eyes were there greeted by a row of flags stretching down the entire length of the main street. No sooner were we well on our road into our encampment than a truck load of ice cream passedus, only to stop at our field kitchen. Upon our arrival we were informed that in addition to these two former favors there would be a dance and movie for us, all of which were provided free of charge. Our trip was now half finished. Only one more night would be spent in bivouac, only two more days would be spent in the saddles. We were now in sight of the foot-hill region+our goal. Wednesday evening we camped on the edge of a town called Elvins. To the people of this community we proved to be quite a curiosity, for there were a great number of spectators present to observe the manner in which we pitched camp and received our chow . We were now only twenty-four and one-half miles from our goal. The following morn- ing we arose at 4 o'c1ock in order to finish our course before the extreme heat of the day. Slowly-slowly, the hours passed. Then about 2:30p.m., when everyone was beginning to despair, several brown splotches appeared upon the horizon. It was the end of a perfect dayi'-the last chapter of the ordeal was finished. . In view of the fact that we had put in twelve to fourteen hours on each of the four previous days, we were allowed to sleep until 6:30 on Friday morning. At this point we wish to stop to express our gratitude for the thoughtfulness of our commanding officers, the former is a typical example of their many thoughtful deeds. On both Friday and Saturday we were given the afternoons off. The mornings also if were short and lacking in manual labor. Saturday morning we received our final instructions il in gun drill before going on the range. u Q Q Monday morning began the real climax Cof two days durationj of the yearis training. 4 The Blue men, our seniors, were at work on the O. P. figuring firing data, the lVhite men A were acting gunners and section chiefs, and the Reds served as cannoneers. Wednesday morning we pulled stakes and started down the 'fOzark Trailw on the first lap toward the old home town. Forty-eight hours until we leave. Thursday morning, we began to check out our government property and clothes. Twenty-four hours until l we leave. Friday morning, were on our way home. Fl Page Nirzety-.frvevz if .IV
