was in peril, and who fully understand
how willing the volunteers were to per-
form active service on the field and in
the trenches, and'why the privilege of
making a record was denied the organ
ization of which the state is so justly
proud.
The Rhode Island volunteer regiment
was the first 10 respond 10 President
McKinley's call with full ranks and
with every man completely equipped
for service. No other state sent out "A
regiment so equipped. Most of them
forwarded regiments TO Camp Alger
sans uniforms, sans equipments. sans
guns, sans any knowledge whatever Of
the school of the soldier. and for the
advancement of these our regiment was
side e-tracked.
What duty devoved upon the Rhode
Island regiment at Camp Alger, Falls

cipline there is everything To commend.
The spirit was strong and a perfectly
defendable organization resulted.
