The men who received rifle ard
pistol fire practice at Camp Shell
by are back with US again. The
boys really received a workout,
according to Its. T. D. Collins and
Walter Stemple, leaders of the
group. The men. while at Shelby.
lived in tents and got to know
Shelby stoves. These stoves are
wood burners and they can de-
velop a terrific hunger for fuel.
II was necessary for one man 10
act as guard and woodbearer
throughout the night. The low
scorer for the day on the firing
range was given this dubious
honor.
The men received firing ins,ruc-
tions, part OF which was done
under rather inclement wes ther.
All-in-all, however, the boys were
quite glad to get ba X to Keesler.
We rather imagine that our
area during the daytime resembles
an Infantry compsny's drill field.
New men are given instructions in
the manual OF arms. Rather fat
iguing work, but quite necessary
for the guard duty that the men
will encounter. We don't know
how many of the readers OF this
column have had rifle drill for
full day, but we do know they 90
