chief quartermaster of the division. who IS

Twelve companies, four from the 18th Ohio
comprising the LIST Battalion were also or
dered to move. The Ohioans were as hap-
Ply as the Keystone boys. but would greatly
prefer that their destination be changed

general expectation is that the troops viii
not get away from Dunn Loring until at
least o'clock
