Some Enlisted Men


81 remember said the major "sev-
eral men with histories who enlisted
in the first three months Of the war
to carry muskets. There were full
hundred men in my company in the
three months service, but l didn
know the antecedents~ of more than
twenty of them. All were well ar-
apearing men. and few seemed to me
rollicking daredevtls looking for trou-
BILE or adventure. l noticed i'll the
first weeks drill in the mud of camp
enc man who was disregardful Of in
!. Jury to very fine pair of trousers,
which he wore every day. These
would be -crusted with mud half way
TO the knees some days and yet the
wearer was never disturbed.
Every garment that he wore was
Of fine material, and he started in
every morning clean as to person and
apparel. However, he trotted around
with the most awkward of men, max
ing no remarks, until some visitors
identified him one day as the son Of
an old army officer who had run away
from school and enlisted. For years
l watched with interest his steady
other man puzzled me not little. He
was fair skinned, pink checked,
slender young fellow, very choice in
his speech, and gracious in manner
One day there was scrap in his
mess and he handled himself so we'll
that l asked, Where did you learn to
use your fists?' Taken off his guard,
he said, AT Elton, sir. and in a few
weeks l learned that he was young
Englishman who, travelling in this
country, had bolted his tutor and en-
listed. He served year and was
sent home by the British minister.
In one of the early drills I noticed
a man who seemed to regard the drill
officer with smiling wonder, but who
was stupidity or perversely awkward
in executing commands. One day l
ordered him to the front and said
good humoredly, The awkward squad
will give an exhibition drill for the
benefit of officers and men. Without
more ado l put him through the
French zouave drill. and, much to the
amazement of the men, he executed
every movement with marvellous dis
patch and precision. l then put him
as we'll as in the zouave drill. He had
been having lots of fun, but the next
day took up without protest the work
of drill master for several companies.
In few days he complained of
.darned Dutchman' in one OF the COM
panies. given, he thought, to deriding
his methods. l sent for the quiet
German and asked him what he had
to say for himself. He said at once,
That Frenchman is not man to drill
others for practical work. He is too
much inclined to frills and snowy
movements when you are not watch
ing him, and he has no character
whatever, but l never meant to make
any complaint, because all this is
none of my business. A few ques-
lions brought out the fact that l had
in the company half a dozen men who
had received military training in Eu-
rope. and most of them were service
able in a larger field later in the war"
