The Richmond Ambulance Corps.
Nearly every department in warfare will
be represented Rt the unveiiing. but so Jar
no mention has been made OF the hlch-
mOnd Ambulance Corps, and they seem TO
have been entirely left out OF the pro-
gramme.
Ii will be remembered that this corps
was made up of men who were unable 70
follow the troops, mostly on account of old
age. but they dld excellent service during
the whole term of the war. AS q home
guard they were regularly enlisted under
CGutain John Dooley, were fully equipped
and well drilled. and were often called TO
the front with tents as other soidiers.
They were regularly organized into an aIn-
buiHnce corps and were undef ofueIs 10
90 wherever called near the battle-helds.
whore they did essential service, caring for
the sick and wounded. receiving them IN
their tents. conveying them into the hospi-
tails. burving the dead. and taking care OF
prisoners.
Ihe corps numbered seventy. and but
twentV-nine remain, and they are our
Oldest aud best citizens. Most OF these are
too old 70 go through the long march on
Thursday and yet wish to pay TINS laSt
tribute 10 their beloved chleftaln. Let a
nronpr conveyance be at their disposal,
and let them have q place i'll line that their
age and past services entitle them to. The
surviving members of the corps are the
following: John Enders. John j. Wilson.
Robert Z. Richardson, Benjamin NJ.
