train and off for the front, where he was so
much needed.
The camp was qniet on pleasant morning
about year after, and the boys were lounging
around in the sun. All of sudden the bugle's
shrill blast broke the silence and brought
everyone to his feet. The commander came
out and issued the order 10 Fall in"

order came, "Forward-Marchi !" and, with
Old Glory flying. the regiment moved off for
