EXTRACT FROM LETTKSr,
WRITTEN BY HOWARD
JENKINS
"Last week was t le hardelft
we hare had. Thursday we
camp at 1:45 and marched ■
m'les with sixty pounds and ;«r
guns, with one little canteen SS
water. The thermometer r.ga-
tered 107. The dust was awfai,

Infantry marches at the rat- C
about 2 miles an hour with a
minutes halt to the hour. T!k:
last hour was what tested cvetrv
man in the company. Practical
ly all of them had drained tbew
canteens and hot and dry tw:
staggered into where we wenjw
camp for the night. We pitch*?
our tents and then had to vu
till after dark for water. A n*t
may do without eating, but w*it>
out water he is soon "a «o r
fawn skin," and it seemed «u.
age before my time to fill n
canteen. We then cooked «a-
own supper, or rather fried u*r
bacon and made coffee. We
our hard tack dished out befcrt
the march. I am going to s ; t'
you a sample of it, so you -jo.;
see what bread v/e have on jfe<'
march. There was no slee
in camp that night. We were
assigned some duty, such ah <«
post, patrol or sentinels av***
out on some hill to keep wsftah
About dayligitf
we were attacked and had tc jfo
through regular battle "stuff,'
which kept up for several lioutu
We then broke camp and su?t-$r
back home at eleven, reactih v.
barracks at 3:30. Half the uiutJ
in the company, when the oro-s;
came to fall out, were haritf
able to get up the steps. If r/^
had have ten steps further to ire
I believe it would have killed iiiwr
of us. Lots of us made tbe ia#
hundred yards on pure "gt&
and will power, and don't re mean-
ber where the last halt rcaa
made. The ambulance tr V*'
