The people have not quit throwing
bouquets at the Richmond Howitzers
yet, and all on account Of their great
march they made from Richmond to
Jamestown.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing
about the march was the fact that,
Notwithstanding the boys plowcd
through mud and marched and camped
in drenchinE rains. not single man
had to go to the hospital while they
were away. They did work that would
wear out an old. tougheneS soldier
and yet not minute was lost from
duty on account Of sickness or even
slight indisposition.
This remarkable fact is attributed
by the officers largely to the good
work done In the artillery gymnasium,
and to the splendid training of the
men by Physical Director II. Vaughan
Lloyd.
The gymnasium is located OF.
