ALBERT ERICKSON.
Extracts of letter to George Bro
gren.)

Sept. 20, 1917.
Am feeling fine. We are still in the
wilderness but guess it will not be tor
long time now. The soil here is
nearly all sand and takes up all the
water without making mud. We have
considerable target practice with the
field pieces and pistols. There are
some good marksmen In this regiment
In pistol practice, we had several
men MAKE a. ont of possible 100
which sis considered Z. high 1co1e. a
considerable amount Of practice and
training is needed before a. man can
ride horse in a military manner.
When a man enters the Artillery
branch of service, he is first given all
kinds of training in riding one horse.
After man is proficient in handling
one horse, he is given two. Each gun
is drawn by six horses, that is the
three-inch guns. The six horses are
driven by three drivers, the drivers
being mounted. The ammunition is
carried in a cassion. A cassion is
also drawn by six horses. There is a
steel plate that protects the gunner
and his assistants around the gun.
This steel plate is shrapnel proof and
also a regulation rifle bullet only
makes dent in it. I am having some
pictures made of the three inch guns.
There is forty-four inches recoil on a
three-inch field piece. Each gun has
a crew of seven men to man it besides
two non-commissioned officers. Great
speed is required to handle field ar
tillery piece. A shrapnel can be cut
in four seconds by fast man. The
seven men who constitute the gun
crew are called cannoneers. Every
man in the Artillery service is both
trained as driver and cannoneer so in
case of emergency he can take either
tplace. A fast gunner and cannoneer
can direct piece on target, cut the
fuse, load the piece, fire it in the short
space of "a seconds. Speed must be
attained in a three inch piece as Of
ten your target is moving one
The gun proper is carried on two
wheels and a trailer. The trailer
hooks on to the front wheels which
is called a timber. We are having
breezy fall weather and 1t is rather
cold to sleep in tents without stoves.
