FAMOUS TWENTY-SECOND.
The Twenty-second Inantry has had
war experience in the past five years
which has given the regiment name
in the army for gallantry, which came
only through a baptism of fire which
lasted during it's entire career both in
Cuba and the Philippines. 1t has also
the sad record of having lost two
Colonels in battle. Col. Wyckoff was
!. killed in Cuba and Col. Egbert, well
known in Honolulu, was killed in action
in the Philippines.
The Twenty-second returned from
the Philippines in March, 1902, and
barely had an opportunity to settle
down for period of rest in Gods
Country" as the soldiers term the
mainland, before it was ordered back
again. After passing through the
Cuban campaign the Twenty-second
was ordered direct to the Philippines
arriving there March 5, 1899, and was
at once sent out under General Llovd
Wheaton on an expedition around
Pasig, Lagunade Bay and the lake re-
gion in general, during which time it
had some fierce fighting, the FiliDinos
massing their strength about Manila
then under Aguinaldo, Pho del Pillar
| and other doughty leaders. The second
| expedition of the regiment was under
Wheaton from Caloocan to Malaban,
[ starting on March "a and marching and
fighting until the first week in April.
! Heavy fighting, day and night, haras-
| sed by the FiIipinoS who oDerated
against the Americans with a dense
| timber belt as their base, resulted final
| ly in the death OF Col. Egbert. At
Malinta church II men were killed,
and about so wounded, including sew
eral officers. The regiment returned on
| April 2, and occupied the long stretch
| of trenches passing Caloocan, the wa
| terworks and La Iona church, and
i was constantly under fire. On April "a
| the regiment was under Gen. Lawton,
| and starting from La Iona church,
| the regiment went on a thirty-six day
| fianking expedition. When Gen. Nc
| Arthur took command of the BRIGADE
| in which the Twenty-fourth was Or
| ganiZed, the regiment was split, the
second battalion being sent to Candaba
| on the Rio Grande river. The first
battalion under Maj. Balance, who aft
erwards became Brig.-General for
| distinguished service, participated in
sanguinary scrap which cut up the
Filipinos. The battalion was one which
assisted in the chase after Aguinaldo
| as far north as Vigan. In this wild
chase after the rebel leader, the bat
talon covered asa miles on foot, over a
