twenty tents and about one hundred and forty men, which is the strength of a field battery. None of the fellows in the tent are rough street bums. A great many of the fellows in the battery are boys I knew before going.
We start firing practice a week from tomorrow. I am on what they call the head quarters party. Instead of riding on the guns I ride behind the O.C. when we go out on a march. I am a director and have a machine something like a surveyors transit for giving the battery the right line of fire. It's not such a bad job at all.
