The Skipper Visits
With The U. S. Army
I "Oh We're Tenting Tonight On The
Old Camp Ground" chortled Messrs
Burn*. CarrUon, Kichol and the
Skipper" aa they motored homeward
Monday evening after an afternoon
spent in eight-seeing and Camden pro
paganda dispensing at Port Jackaon.
"It was an interesting episode"
quoth The Skipper. "Setting forth
ubout 2 holla In the afternoon with
Pilot Henry at the helm we reached
the outakirts of the big fort about 40
minutes later and then ran into headwinds
which caused us to dt? a lot^of
larking to windward and leeward, but
wo finally reached the headquarters of
the 13th Infantry, 8th division whore
we received a splendid welcome from
Colonel Sumner Waite.
"Colonel Waite ordered his own
army bus and chaffeur ami escorted
us to the division headquarters where
we mot Lieutenant Colonel Whitaker
who, after hearing Mr. llurna' request
for some army units for the Camden
parade Friday, communicated with
Ornoral ituasell, who gave his conaeiu
to send several groups over. Colonel
Whitaker proved a fine host and discussed
Camden polo and his hope that
the Fort could bo represented in the
polo program in Canulun this winter.
"Hoarding the army buH again, we
returned to the headquarters of the
13th Infantry and disembarked for a
tour of the regimental cramp. We also
met Colonel E. L. Poland, a moat
genial and Jolly officer who with our
tine host Colonel Waite showtxl us
how an army livos.
"We ended up at the officers club
where we were given steaming cups
of delicious coffee and some of the
finest fruit cake this chap has ever
tasted. Better still, wo met a lot of
the regimental officers and found
them a fine set of fellows. Genial
Tom Ancrum's brother was in the
club and joined us in a cup of Java,
"We are still rubbing our eyes in
amazement at the scene that was unfolded
before us as we motored hither
and thither over a labrinth of highways
In the mammoth fort. Frankly,
wo were lost but we ended up eventually
after Pilot Henry got on the
beam that guided our ship Into the
13th Infantry camp.
"The average citizen cannot comprehend
what the government is doing
over there. I mean by that, that
even seeing as many big building projects
as I have, I was astounded by
the scape of the work being done to
......
take care of Uncle Sam's boys.
^'"As we drovo over the highways of
the fort, we saw soldiers on duty In
the pouring rain, we saw squads of
I
boys who were being disciplined fulsome
infraction of rules, marching
with shovels tuu tholr shoulders and
their legs and foot plastered with wot
mud, while behind" them was. a soldier
with a gun/ (As if he would shoot
any of his chargos).
"Well, it was a ilno afternoon
despite the heavy rain and the mud
and wo want to take our haTs~fiTT to
those two genial tlno fellows Colonel
Sumner Walte and Colonel K. D.
Poland, who made the afTalr possible."
The 18th Infantry, by the way,
dates from May 4, 1861 and Its first
commander was none other tliun General
William T. Sherman, who staged
the march froth Atlanta to the sea and
waajJJt is allege<l, responsible for the
burning of Coulmbla and other places
onroute. It was this famous regiment
that figured in the assault of Vlcksburg
and history recites that Its colors
were the ones to gain the parapets
of the Confederate defenders.
As a tribute to Colonel iSumner
Walte, Commander of the regiment,
"Forty Rounds" a wekoly paper published
by the regiment l\as Its first
issue dedicated to him. r This paper
waa published first In Panama where
the regiment wa? stationed before
being assigned to Fort Jackson. The
editor of the paper, is Staff
fleifasat Yewdali and every member
of the regiment acts as reporters.
