LETTER FROM R. T. 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. These things
are wonderful for a boy who has to
do his own sewing and darning in a
place like the army. Without trying
to appear as beggars we would appreciate
the gift of a few small pen
