FAIREY. j Bambeigian in Ambulance Corps Writes of Hike to Gettysburg. The following by Prof. R. T. Fairey is reprinted from the Sunday State: Judging from the record made by the men of section Xo. 26 of the 1". S. A. A. C. 011 their hike to and from the old battlefield of Gettysburg, Pa., the physical stamina of the soldier boys of the old Palmetto Strr.? has not been lowered since the days their forefathers fought, bled, and died 011 the old battlefield. The distance from Allentown to Gettysburg by the course the men pursued is about 13a miles, thus making the entire distance traversed 270 miles. On the morning of July 18, we. together with five other sections, a total of 1S9 men and officers received orders to pack up our tent halves, in which were placed all necessary clothing and toilet articles for the soldier, and get ready for a hike to some point "somewhere in America."- In an hour's time every man was ready and "rearing to go." Much to the disappointment of our boyish enthusiasm, we were oredered to pitch tents and spend our first night sleeping on the soft side of our kind old mother earth, within the walls of oar own camp grounds. Before being allowed to turn in for the night we were all taken to the hospital tent and given the first inoculation of the paratyphoid treatment. We had previously received the three "shots" of the typhoid inoculation, so little was our dread of the mild paratyphoid treatment. Sufficient to say that we all awoke the next morning with our left arms fit subjects for slings. But before 11 o'clock the noun was changed for the verb, and we were ordered to sling our packs across our backs for our first day's march. We made quite an imposing sight (we thought as we marched out of the gates, followed by 21 Ford ambulances one Ford touring car, three Packard trucks, with field kitchen attached to one side car motorcycle. As it passed headquarters the battalion was reviewed by Surgeon General j Gorgas, Lieutenant Colonel Goodwin, R. A. M. C. (British Army), Major Noble of the surgeon general's office, Lieut. Col. Percy Jones, second in command of the U. S. A. A. C., and Capt. C. P. Franklin, adjutant. The \ battalion was commanded by Captain Brinton, M. R. C., First Sergt. L. M. Smith, of our section, acting sergeantmajor. The First Meal. On account of leaving late, we halted after nine miles marching, and partook of our first meal from the army field kitchen, said mearl consisting of a sandwich and a cup of cafe noir. We were fully confident that we would starve before the evening meal, but we hadn't yet learned that we were under men who knew more about our welfare than we did. After mess we all climbed into "flivvers." and rode into Reading, a distance from Allentown of 36 miles. At Reading we pitched our tents in the old fair grounds, and were given no leave that night. The sound of taps at 9 o'clock bade us all good night, and the reveille at 5 the following morning was the first sound of a new day to us. Before six we had cur morning mess?German fried potatoes, bacon, bread and coffee this time with milk and sugar. At 6:30 we had struck tents, packed our rolls and were ready to go. Reading is no village by any means, and we had the pleasure of marching through the city. On our arrival at Columbia, a manufacturing town on the Susquehanna, we had an idea that w? could be in Columbia, "the square meal city," judging by the number of pickanninies we saw. Over the Susquehanna at this point we passed over the longest rive>r bridge I have ever seen, a mile and a q.uater in length. It was a combination railroad and highway bridge. March and Ride. / On this day (Friday) we marched about 16 miles before tumbling into /vih + a T on_ our "mvvers ior ammici iuum.uiiuucaster (not South Carolina). At our midday mes? we were allowed to take off our shoes and socks and bathe cur feet in the coldest water I ever felt without ice. My, what a rest, too. Try it next time you go hiking. At Lancaster we were encamped at | a park which contained a swimming pool. Needless to say that many a splash was indulged in before morning. Here, and at all other cities through which we passed, we were given leave until 9 p. 111. Lots of fellows took advantage of the shower baths that the Y. M. C. A. was so kind as to offer to all of Uncle Sam's men. 1 might say in passing that after the war all soldiers who go through and hack to their homes, and who have any patriotism at all will most assuredly become members of the "Y." Leaving Lancaster early Saturday morning we made our record march of the trip, 18 miles before 12 o'clock We spent the night at York, a place almost as hospitable as York. S. C. At 6:30 o'clock Sunday morning we were at our final lap to Gettysburg. We walked eight miles (it being Sunday, we did not care to break the Sabbath too much), and rode on into Gettysburg, arriving on the old battlefield at noon. We encamped right on the ground over which Pickett mnUp famous charee on July 3.1 lS6o. Some of the boys claimed to have had nocturnal communications with the spirits of their dear departed ancestors, but we generally credit it as nightmares caused by too much hiking. On arriving at Gettysburg we were given as much freedom as soldiers not on furloughs can possibly have. We were allowed to come and go at any time between 6 a. m. and 1 0 p. m. answering only the roll call for setting up exercises in the morning. Such treatment usually calls for the best that is in a man, and most of the boys remembered it on the return trip. Monday morning the men of Section 26 were allowed the use of four of the ambulances in which to make a tour of the historic battlefield. Our only expense was the cost of the gasoline and obtaining a guide. We then proceeded to cover the battleground in the chronological order of the three day battle. Our guide was an old Union soldier, so naturally we had to discount some of the things he said. In conversation with Lieutenant Hamilton he made the remark that the particular spot where we stood, 011 the night after the first day's battle, Union dead were robbed of all their valuables by Confederate soldiers, laying particular stress on the brutality of such. On being reminded by our lieutenant of the useless robberies and depredations made by his famous general, Sherman, in the South, he immediately changed the entire trend of his story. < A High water Mark. It is simply impossible in a writeup of this kind to tell of the won-| derful and intensely interesting sights j we viewed that day. We covered the I whole battlefield from the place where the first shot was fired by the Union soldiers under Reynolds, to the "High Water Mark" near Meade's Headquarters. One of the most beautiful monuments, and naturally to the Southerner's eye the most beautiful, is that of Gen. Robt. E. Lee, standing on Confederate Avenue. It was erected j by the State of Virginia to the mem-j ory of her sons in the war. Lee is shown on his faithful horse Traveler, facing his old enemy, General Meade, who is mounted directly accross the field from Lee. Be it said to the credit of the South that it is through no fault of her own that Confederate Avenue is not lined with hundreds of other monuments to the memory of her lost sons, for it was only in the last year that congress passed a law allowing the placing of such decorations. On Tuesday a few of us made a trip to the top of Blue Ridge moun-i tain. On this mountain is located aj tower, from the top of which is visi-j ble the beautiful hill country for; miles around. Our view was con-! siderablv obstructed by the hazy! weather, but even then it was by far the prettiest view of the whole field. We left Gettysburg on Wednesday morning, July 26, and came back the exact route over which we went. Our most conspicuous reception was at York. The good ladies here gave us an abundance of delicious ice cream and cake, and the city turned out at least 5,000 strong to welcome us. We arrived back at Allentown Saturday morning tired and dusty, but wonderfully improved physically and in quite a number of other ways. Other "hikers" have left here before and since then, but we are all of the rminirm that wft had the most enjoy able and by the far the most educational trip of any of them. Men who can not be inspired to nobler things by the sights as shown on such a battlefield are not worthy to bear arms for their country. Our final satisfac| tion will come when we are ordered to France and strive to become heroes on the soil of a foreign land, by caring for the sick and wounded of the whole world for humanity's sake. I have not forgotten that there are two other sections, 27 and 2S, here from Souli Carolina. Section 2S went 011 a hike a few days before we did, and Section 27 is at an auxiliary encampment a few miles out pf the city now. We fully believe that the three sections from South Carolina will make a name for themselves up here and on the battlefields. The ambulanoe corps has the unique dis| tinction of being the first integral now Vfltirtnal Armv. pari, ui iiivj n<_?? Before 1 close 1 would like to thank the Red Cross Chapter of Columbia in behalf of tiie boys of our three i sections for the comfort bags that we received a few days ago.
