arlll Monday night. Battery “C" de-
yoted the entire evening to :. com-
pany meeting) reviewing the events
' Md accomplishments‘of the battery
figuring its last camp.
Captain Edmund Preece an-
pounced that with the battery well
‘ihead of its schedule. he felt he
could easily afford to declare a. va-
nation for the men during the en-
ure’ month of Auguist.
, He then went on to review the
[work of each section and told how
well pleased he was with the way
the men performed at camp.
Starting viiih the gun sections.
Captain Preece said Sergeant An.
ilersou's and Keri’s crews ware two
of the best in the regiment. To be
the first to get into position and fire
the first shot of the camp is the goal
of everyone. and that was what these
two sections achieved. Their fire
was not only faster but a check of
their sights showed it to be more
accurate. The cooperation of Cor-
porals Bennett and Pest together
with the. entire gun crews made this
feat possible.
Much credit was also due to the
tract r drivers for the manner in
yzhic they maneuvered their ma.-
“ chines in putting the guns and coil-
\
mns‘ in position.
The work of the instrument and
communication sections was proli-
.ny as big a factor as any toward
making this human machine func-
tion like clock-work. Sergeant
ibults and corporal Palmer had the
only instrument section capable of
figuring their own firing date. for
the guns. Their ability to do this
allowed the battery commander to
devote more of his attention to other
important matters within the bat-
ery.
t Before any of these other sections
get into action telephone lines must
he laid in order to establish com-
munication between the observation
post and We guns. The O. P. is
the eye of TEN; guns. so unless there
is means of connecting the two. the
guns may be competed to a man
pithout sight. The network of wires
laid by this section includes fair
stations and is quite elaborate. re-
quiring a constant patrol of it by
0 linemen to repair shorts and
reeks. Sergeant Baddelly and
Corporal Over-throw had the re-
sponsibility of the telephone sec-
tion on their shoulders Sergeant
paddelly rightly won the reputation
of the best signal sergeant in the
gegiment.
On one particular battalion prob-
um, Battery “C" was required to
run over a mile of wires from the
pbservation post to the guns. For-
tunately they ran a double line and
were able to turn over to the bat-
talion commander one of the lines
for his use when he was unable to
get his Own wires through.
Captain Preece reminded the men
that the battery’ s challenge. to com-
pete with any other battery in the
regiment in going through with a
mplete firing problem still remains

tions. without any expense to the
