with the exception of a very few
are enjoying the new experien-

morning about five, marched a
bout two miles to our headquart-
ers, were lined up, assigned to
barracks, given bedding, allowed
to wash up from our trip and
then given our mess kits and a
substantial breakfast, which was
welcome for by this time we were
all ravenous. After eating we
washed our dishes, and then lin.
ed up for roll call and slight set
ting up exercises.
Monday covered about the
same thing with several games
for hardening unused muscles,
borrowed from the British Army
and then Company singing. Lat

and will be outftted in a few days.
