today.
Yesterday afternoon, we were given
a chance to see the First battalion
in mounted drill. This battalion has
seen service on the border. The drill
was fine and very interesting. The
three batteries drilled separately.
Their horses are trained well because
when the commanding officer blew
the whistle, the horses knew just
what to do. Their cannOniers are
fast in their work. Two of the bat
teries went into action on the drill
field. This part of the work is most
important. Some day you VIII hear
