ular establishment and like Major Ha-
nabergh was a non commissioned Of
ficer at the outbreak Of the war with

the camp property owner Is also ano-
ther of the veterans of Camp Sewer.
He came here early in the fall Of 1877
and has received his commission as
lieutenant since coming into the SER
vice here.
Lieut.. l. NJ. Adams of the Finance
branch of the Quartermaster Corps
has been stationed at Camp Sewer for
the past seventeen months. His has
,, been and is a most strenuous work and
one requiring the utmost care and eau
ton.
First Lieut.. L. r. Collins who Is at
present camp salvage officer has been

At the Remount station where thous-

number Of men, especially among
the enlisted personnel who have been
in this camp from twelve to sixteen
months.
First Lieut.. T. d. Lamp who serves
at present as executive officer and as
sistant to the camp supply officer Is one
of the oldest of the old timers. Seventeen
months have come and gone since he
was ordered to Camp Sewer to assist
in the organization of this camp and
in that time he has held numerous
positions of responsibility. He was for
quite a while personnel officer OF the
depot unit Of the quartermaster corps

one which requires judgment and dis
cretion and experience, Is testimonial
of the high regard in which he is held
by the war department as an officer
and man.

of months and there are numerous non

These mons with scores and scores
of others in camp organizations have
served and have served long and faith
fully. They still serve. They wear or
rather are entitled to wear silver
stripes instead of the gold. But 1t Is
through no fault of theirs. In the fu-
ture they will have no tales to tell OF
battles in which they were engaged In
France, Of weeks " the trenches, OF
hong forced marches, of life over there
amid shot and shell. But they have the
satisfaction Of honorable service well
done and when the discharge OF eacn
is writ with service honest and faith
full" upon it, the felix's back In their
respective homes will have a right and
will be just as proud Of them as their
brothers and cousins and friends and
acouaintances who did the actual
whipping of the Hun. Jas. D. Grist.
