DUNN 1 ■ M Officers and men of Company B, 560th Engineer Battalion have just returned from a two-week training camp at Ft. Stewart, Georgia. With Captain Clifton E. Marshall commanding, the 85 men and three officers did a magnlficant jobl There is nothing easy about a two-week camp at Ft. Stewart. The men realize this well in advance. Probably the hardest part comes first, that of saying good-bye I As the men climb upon the trucks the wives, children, and sweethearts look on. It has always been hard to say good-bye but this time it appears harder than ever. It is the first time away from their wives and children for some of the men, others had never been on a National Guard camp and knew not what to expect. However, expectations were too low in most cases, for after several days the men become adjusted to the daily training. They know what is expected of them now, and they pitch in and work to gether. Actually some of them learn to enjoy this change in living. The army expects a great deal from our engineers. There is the land mine warfare which includes installing a defensive and enemy mine field, the M4T6 floating bridge must be assembled and disassembled, timer trestle bridges are built and destroyed, and all engineers must know the importance and power of high explosives. The second week is spent on bivouac about 20 miles Into the woods. While there men must pitch tents and dig foxholes for themselves and their weapons. Night moves are held to see if the men are alert and can move fast in case of enemy attack. All in all camp is not too bad. There are the letters and tele phone calls from home. There is racing, Indian wrestling, and golfing in the late evenings, and near-by Savannah and Jkyl Is land offer entertainment at night and on week-ends. On Sunday the men return back to their home unit. Some have blisters on their hands, others have scratches and red bugs on their bodies. The men are tired and tanned. Some are almost exhausted. This was the last camp for some of the men. They would be discharged on their return. Other man had several camps to make yet. The only memories of Ft. Stewart were on their uni forms and boots where thev had walked and worked in the water and mud. Other memories of Ft. Stewart were left behind in the sand-covered foxholes and under the small shelter tents. The men of Company B had done a good job, the victory had been won. Why should “dog days” bother people?
