 The equipment of the infantry in the two expeditions around Lake Lanao under Captain Pershing, in 1903. Is worthy of study. These expeditions each lasted nearly two weeks. and were over every sort of country. and during quite rainy weather. At the start the men were carefully equipped. great care being taken to see that every man had uniform in good condition and a good sound pair of shoes Every man had in his blanket roll blanket, shell ter half. poncho, blouse. extra stock ings, towel and soap. The blanket rolls were carried on native ponies. about twelve rolls on pony. Each man carried his haversack, two cam teens, and a hundred rounds of ball cartridges. Usually but one meal was carried in the haversack. as the rations were packed on pack mules, and on making camp each night the rations for the next three meals were issued. These included supper that day. break fast and lunch the next day. Cholera was epidemic all around Lanao, so we drank nothing but boiled water"
