 In so fnv as the men of the 363rd Field 
 Hospital company are concerned, the mar is over. 
 For the most of us it mas a long battle and not 
 the hardest part of it mas the time me spent in 
 action at the front. There mere many days of 
 "watchful waiting" before me yot to France and 
 after the armistice mas signed. There mere the 
 usual inconsistencies to contend with, but as an 
 outfit we got along as well as any and better than 
 most. The associations we have made will live 
 long in our memories and this little book, it is 
 hoped, will have a helpful influence. 
 
 It has not been hoped or expected that every- 
 thing contained herein will please everyone. His- 
 tories never do. However, it is a fairly accurate 
 account of our trials, tribulations and humorous 
 incidents in our tour of America and Europe with 
 the United States Army. 
 
 Nothing has been written with any malice. 
 The writer wishes to especially mention William 
 E. Scott, H. H. Laman, J. M. Slavin and H. L. Mac- 
 Kenzie, mho have earnestly assisted him in com- 
 piling this history. 
 
 If it serves in any way to perpetuate the name 
 and record of our organization, those of us mho 
 are responsible, will feel amply repaid.

 THE publication of this history was not attempted 
 for the purpose of advertising what was accom- 
 plished by our company, yet it is not amiss at 
 this time, to refer briefly to our work in the Argonne, 
 Belgium and at Revigny. 
 
 Our first actual experience in the work for which 
 we had trained so long was in the Great Argonne of- 
 fensive opening September 2(5, 1918. We were not so 
 well organized then as at the close of the war, but a 
 very creditable showing was made. Over 700 patients 
 were taken care of by us in the first few days of the 
 battle in addition to caring for and feeding the same 
 amount for the Triage working in connection with us. 
 Those were strenuous days in the Argonne and many 
 men worked GO to 70 hours without sleep or rest. The 
 spirit of the men at that time was admirable. 
 
 After a few days of rest and a march of over 50 
 kilometers we were called upon to establish a hospital 
 for the sick at Revigny, where 813 men were cared for 
 during a three-day stop. 
 
 It was in the Lys-Scheldt drive in Belgium that we 
 made a particularly fine showing, for which we were 
 highly commended by the Commanding General. When 
 the drive opened on October 30th, we had pitched for 
 action at Oyghem, about 12 kilometers from Roulers. 
 At that time we took care of 78 seriously wounded, 
 511 slightly wounded and 182 sick. These cases were 
 received, treated and evacuated to the rear in three 
 days time. At our last stand in Waerghem, this hospital 
 handled the following cases: Seriously wounded 1, 
 slightly wounded 25, sick 46. It might be of interest 
 to recall that in the final offensive ours was the most 
 advanced hospital in the division if not in the U. S. 
 Army.

 THE 363rd FIELD HOSPITAL COMPANY 
 
 Urimi an JJtttrrlufo in ^mnr i^mtiirrft (§hh ICtnra 
 
 By Sergeant William E. Scott 
 
 & 
 
 From August, 1914, until the memorable April (i, 1017, most 
 American young men found the war in Europe an object of sustain- 
 ing interest, but in most eases not an intimate thing. Mr. Wilson's 
 message on the latter date however, brought home to most of them 
 that the thing was not so far away, and that there was a chance of 
 personal participation in it. And a fair majority of them — not too 
 openly — rather hoped for the chance. So it was that when the call 
 lor men for immediate service came from the Medical Building, in 
 Portland, Oregon, to form an Ambulance Unit, it took not many days 
 to enlist the required 119 men. 
 
 That was on May 21, 1917. Before the enlisted group could have 
 become an organization, however, the then Captain H. A. Greene 
 announced the continued enlistment to the enlisted reserve corps, 
 Medical Department, of another 83 men, sufficient to form a field 
 hospital company. Early in July that number of men were chosen 
 and sent to Camp Lewis, forming the beginning of the 304th Field 
 Hospital. The rest of the group stayed behind, and by dint of much 
 drilling at Multnomah field, under the direction of Sergeant Clyde 
 L. Meach, and frequent hiking over the hills on Sundays, were in 
 some sort of shape long before the call to active service came. Along 
 in July it was learned that Captain John J. Sellwood of the Sellwood 
 Hospital, Portland, was to command the unit. 
 
 II 
 
 The call came August 13, but the Portland Provisional Ambulance 
 Company did not entrain for Camp Lewis until August 27. Imme- 
 diately upon its arrival the company proceeded to set up a cam]) 
 across the Pacific Highway from the base hospital, then building. 
 They put a row of white tents parallel to the highway, had their first 
 army meal of beans, tomatoes, canned "Willy," etc., spent a frosty 
 night with three blankets and all the coats, trousers, etc., they had 
 gathered over the bunk to help keep out the cold, and next morning 
 tore up the tents and replaced them in a double row just back of 
 the original line, because of an awkward fence. The fence came 
 down in the course of several days, however. 
 
 The temporary organization was perfected with Captain Sellwood 
 as commanding officer and Sergeant Meach as first sergeant. Other 
 non-commissioned officers were Sergeant Max P. dishing of Beed 
 College, in charge of records; Sergeant Ralph M. Russell as supply — 
 or Q. M. as we then said it — Sergeant Sanford as mess sergeant; and 
 Sergeants Windsor, Decker, Hetrick, Beals, Hill, McKenzie, Alrutz, 
 
 a 1 
 
 i r, ) 
 
ID- 
 
 Crowe and Burgard as duty sergeants. Averill, K. B., West, Jensen, 
 Springston and Patton were assigned temporary eorporalships. 
 
 Things went ahead smoothly. The uninitiated were taught the 
 intricacies of , 'Fours, Bight," and "About, Face," and along with 
 the Multnomah Field veterans developed enormous appetites. The 
 waters of American Lake saw many boisterous crowds enjoy its 
 invigorating baths, and the stores at the station and in the nearby 
 village of Dupont furnished a nightly opportunity to get rid of one's 
 few remaining civilian dollars. It was like a boys' military school 
 summer camp, for a while. Absence of uniforms was the first thorn. 
 Civilian clothes weren't meant for that sort of thing. Uniforms came 
 in driblets — it was quite five weeks before all of us had more than 
 a hat or a pair of leggings to show that we were the real thing. 
 
 Then came guard — Camp Lewis was then just building, and it 
 fell to us to watch over the fifty-odd growing base hospital buildings. 
 We used a whittled stick or a piece of lead pipe, maybe, if there 
 was a howling lunatic that might become at large, to use for arms, 
 and it was easy enough to stumble into a ditch towards the end of 
 the graveyard shift- — 9:40 until 3:10. Another thing was whitewash. 
 The camp had to look as neat as a "biergarten," so everything that 
 stuck out of the earth — tent pins, trees, pole — we edged with stones 
 and gravel, and whitewashed. Sergeant Crowe had a miraculous 
 formula containing rice, salt, lime, and several other things and it 
 was the thing. The rice had to be ground, too. 
 
 But those were little things. Mostly we enjoyed it all, and could 
 we have been assured of an early trip across to France, our enthusi- 
 asm would have been complete. But th e_91st Divisio n was being 
 organized, and it fell to us— -then in our impatience, with regret — 
 to become a part of its 316th Sanitary Train. One morning Captain 
 Sellwood announced that the Portland Provisional Ambulance Com- 
 pany had ceased to exist and that in its place a Field Hospital and 
 the nucleus of a second had been formed. Thirty-odd men were 
 detached from the group and the balance became what was shortly 
 afterward known as the 303rd Field Hospital Company. In the 
 course of ;i lew days we bid the neat little company street, and the 
 mess tent, and the big madrona tree, and the tall flag pole, good bye, 
 and established ourselves in an almost completed barracks on Utah 
 street, over in the main camp. About that time Lieutenant Linford 
 S. Besson, also of Portland, joined our company. 
 
 Ill 
 
 It was good to be in a building again, and if at first we had to 
 be content without electricity and shower baths, we soon forgot those 
 things, and became attached to the raw unpainted structure, Bar- 
 racks 21. 
 
 And until that time we had unconsciously pictured ourselves as 
 a unique organization in the American army. First we gathered 
 that we were one of four field hospitals, then a consciousness of the 
 Train came to us, until now we frequently forgot our loyalty to the 
 91st Division, in our pride of being a part of the A. E. F. Thus 
 from a little acorn grew . 
 
 Then followed months of Camp Lewis — drill, details, passes to 
 Portland or Seattle, rumors and hope. Lieutenants W. Carlton Smith 
 and Edward A. Peterson joined us, then Captain Benjamin F. Cun- 
 ningham and Lieutenant Boy E. Swanson, and in the spring of 1918, 
 
 ( 7 ) 
 

 Captain Schroeder and for a short time Captain Pontius. Lieutenants E 
 
 r Smith and Swanson received their captaincies while with us — Cap- E 
 
 E tain Swanson became train adjutant while there, and Captain Cun- E 
 
 E ningham was ordered to a California base hospital before we left. 
 
 E For a long time in the spring of 1918 Major Sellwood — he received 
 
 E his majority at that time — commanded the field hospital section of I 
 
 j the Train, and Captain Smith was our C. O. Among the non-com- 
 missioned officers there were changes, too. In November, 1917, E 
 
 j permanent warrants were granted so that our organization was as § 
 
 E follows: Sergeants First Class Meach, Cushing and Patton, and Ser- E 
 
 [ geants Windsor, Hill, Beals, Russell, Hetrick and Sanford. Sanford \ 
 
 I left the company before the end of 1917 and Hansen took his place 
 
 E in charge of the kitchen. Sergeant Russell returned to civil life early j 
 
 E in 1918, and Portouw became supply sergeant. Sergeant Meach 
 
 E entered the third O. T. C. in January; Sergeant Hetrick becoming [ 
 
 E first sergeant; Sergeant Cushing left to take a commission in the 
 
 E intelligence department, and Torrey followed him as custodian of E 
 
 i the sick book and service records at this time also. The year went i 
 
 E on with interminable lectures, setting up, drill by company, battalion 
 
 = and Train; hikes down to the Sound and around the fence — we'll { 
 
 i never forget the scramble down the gravel side of the deep ravine 
 
 at the Dupont dock and up the other side, where there were huckle- { 
 
 z berries on the further side to reward us while we rested, 'way late in 
 
 § the season. Some of the boys were sent on prolonged details to the [ 
 
 : base hospital, presumably to learn to read temperatures and set 
 
 E splints, but actually, in most cases, to become experts in the use of E 
 
 E broom and mop. j 
 
 I So the time, dragged on. There were frequent week-ends to 
 
 E Portland — mad rushing things, when one saw his family only as an I 
 
 \ incident in the multitude of things to do. Or one went to Seattle for 
 
 a night's rest between sheets and to keep alive civilian ways of [ 
 
 i eating. The mushroom growth of shacks sheltering all sorts of things 
 
 guaranteed to painlessly extract the soldiers' dimes and dollars — j 
 
 = the "Joy Zone" — gave way to bona fide entertainment at the big I 
 
 Liberty theatre, the Y., the K. of C, and among the shops and theatres E 
 
 [ of the Mission and Oriental buildings of Greene Park rising over on e 
 
 E our old camp grounds. E 
 
 = The spring warmed into summer, and our hopes of seeing France j 
 
 I bloomed brighter. In May Sergeants Hetrick, Patton, Beals and Tor- 
 
 E rev, and Privates Frentzel, Ogle and Tindale entered the Fourth E 
 
 j Officers Training School and in mid-June warrants were granted to 
 
 E fill up the vacancies. Sergeant Windsor became first sergeant with j 
 
 [ Hill and Slavin the other two sergeants first class. Other non-coms 
 
 were Sergeants Hansen, Portouw, Neil, Graham, Ranes and Scott, and E 
 
 \ Corporals MacKenzie, Elsfelder and Tatreau. \ 
 
 \ IV \ 
 
 \ After June 1st things rapidly assumed definite shape and on \ 
 
 E June 27th we left Cam]) Lewis behind and started our six-days ride 
 
 j to Camp Merritt. Major Sellwood and Captain Schroeder had gone E 
 
 E with the divisional advance party, leaving Captain Smith in com- 
 
 E mand, accompanied by Lieutenants Peterson and Besson, and Lieu- \ 
 
 l tenant Danford, recently attached as dental surgeon. Favored by 
 
 \ good weather, the trip over the Union Pacific, Northwestern and E 
 
 } Erie railroads was far from unpleasant. :

 A week was spent at Merritt, punctuated by passes to New York 
 city and issue of overseas clothing and equipment. Then on July 11th 
 we hiked over to Alpine landing and boarded a ferry which took 
 us down the Hudson to Pier 59, where the big White Star liner 
 Olympic lay waiting for us. We went aboard at once and lay over 
 at the pier for 24 hours, roaming about the big ship and making 
 ourselves at home as nearly as we could, what with hammocks and a 
 British transport mess to contend with. On board were the 364th 
 Infantry, two base hospital units of nurses, several odds and ends 
 of detachments, besides the 310th Sanitary Train. Mr. Herbert C. 
 Hoover, Mr. Franklin Roosevelt, Mr. Stettinius, and other distin- 
 guished persons were aboard, too. 
 
 Fortunately the trip across was short — but six and a half days, 
 and the weather very fine, so that one's spirits were still good at 
 the end in spite of the mess, and the mob-service that did duty as 
 ship canteen. We were without convoy, except for the first day out, 
 and the final day and a half, when we were accompanied in our 
 sweeping, zig-zag course by trim, picturesque, little destroyers. To 
 our disappointment no submarines were sighted, although that did 
 not keep wild rumors from circulating among the semi-credulous. 
 
 Our first sight of land was the Isle of Wight, and shortly after- 
 ward we became mired in Portsmouth harbor. In the evening we 
 went up with the tide a few miles to Southampton, enjoying through 
 the misty air park-like landscapes that lay on both sides of us. We 
 stayed aboard that night, debarking on the morning of the 20th, for 
 an all-day stay in a dock shed. That night the 31(ith Sanitary Train 
 boarded the channel boat King Edward, and piled three-deep wher- 
 ever there was room. We left Southampton toward evening, and lay 
 over in Portsmouth harbor until nearly midnight. Then we steamed 
 out beyond the nets into the open channel, and skimmed and jerked 
 out over the pitchy waters for four hours, with only the occasional 
 gleam of n flashing light to remind us that there were protectors as 
 well as possible subs around. 
 
 The morning of July 21st found us within Napoleon's stone- 
 jettied harbor at Cherbourg. We debarked early and marched through 
 novel little streets, infested with penny-demanding youngsters, some 
 four kilometres to an English "rest" camp at Tourleville. There we 
 stayed for five days. Is it enough to say that the British sergeant- 
 major is probably still attempting to figure why it took two thousand 
 meals to feed eight hundred men at a single sitting? 
 
 The evening of July 25th saw us entrain in box-cars for a two- 
 days' ride to St. Nazaire. We jiggled and jolted in the tiny things, 
 but the novelty of the experience and the beauty of the countryside 
 made us forget that their former passengers were "8 chevaux" 
 instead of "40 homines." We detrained and marched two kilometers 
 to the fragrance of Base Camp No. 1. There we adjusted ourselves 
 to a month's stay in French barracks. We drilled again in mud and 
 dust-storms, learned "Oui" and "Combien," and the meaning of vin 
 rouge during our short pass-periods at St. Nazaire. The beaches at 
 the mouth of the Loire and nearby Pornichet and Le Baule, and our 
 unfailing good mess were fair compensations for the ills we found 
 and couldn't correct.

 We entrained on Saturday, August 24, 1*)18, and started on a 
 three-days' trip to rejoin the rest of the 91st. By some unusual 
 fortune we were assigned to II class compartment cars. There isn't 
 a squad-member who hasn't particular memories of what happened 
 in his compartment. We went through Nantes, Tours, Bourges, 
 Nevers, Dijon, Is-sur-Tille, to our destination at Meuse. During the 
 trip we saw much of work and equipment laid out on gigantic scale 
 by the A. E. F. Service of Supply. 
 
 After a night in pup tents on a hill above Meuse, we hiked several 
 kilometres to the picturesque village of Montigny-le-Roi, where we 
 were introduced to barn-billets for our eight days' stay. There we 
 reduced our equipment to that required by the status "in action." 
 A twenty-two kilometer hike, twenty minutes rest, and a prompt 
 return, all with a complete pack, took place during a maneuver — 
 never to be forgotten. On September 6th we hiked over to Foulain. 
 where we entrained that night for a few hours' ride to Houdelain- 
 court, from which we made a short but tiring march to the ancient 
 village of Bonnet. 
 
 Major Sellwood and Captain Schroeder joined us at Montigny, 
 where Lieutenant Peterson received his captaincy. At Bonnet we 
 acquired Lieutenant Dick R. Moss and Captain McMartin, taking the 
 place of Lieutenant Danford, who was detached from us at Camp 
 Merritt. 
 
 VI 
 
 At Bonnet we were issued gas masks, and from there we went 
 into reserve for the wiping out of the St. Mihiel salient, "doing into 
 reserve" meant all-night marches over dark, muddy roads, with 
 never a cigarette for solace, and day-time bivouac in wet woods 
 when one lived on two meals a day of tinned rations. We stayed 
 in the vicinity of Void those rainy (lays, and one night were carried 
 in French camions driven by Annamese, from there to Vavincourt, 
 north of Bar-le-Duc. 
 
 VII 
 
 We arrived there on September 14th, and stayed two (lays. Then 
 we started out hiking, one night at 8:30, got lost — 
 
 "Oh, the Sanitary Train went 'round and 'round. 
 Hunting for a road that can't be found — " 
 
 and finally all collected again in a woods near Fleury at 11 the 
 next morning. We passed through several towns devastated by the 
 Germans in 1 1)1 4, their ruined walls glimmering ghostly in the occa- 
 sional moonlight. From Fleury we went on that night, arriving at 
 Camp Dauphin, near Rarecourt, long after midnight. We stayed in 
 the French camp for two days, during which time Major Sellwood 
 was assigned to the 301st Infantry, we receiving Major James H. 
 Irwin of Great Falls, Montana, as the new commanding officer. At 
 the same time Major Stanley F. Berry replaced Lieutenant Colonel 
 Reynolds as commander of the Train, and Major John Guy Strohm 
 superceded Major Dowdall as Director of Field Hospitals. 
 
 The offensive in the Argonne was beginning to be rumored about, 
 and the boys were anxious to finally get to work in the thing they 
 had been training for for almost a year and a half. On the evening 
 of the twentieth the Train marched up to Bois de Parois, the southern 
 
 ( 11 ) 
 
•G 
 
 end of the Foret d'Hesse, a portion of the Argon ne forest, the north- 
 ern half of which was in German hands. There we stayed for four 
 days, of unfailing memories. We lived in camouflaged pup tents, 
 ingenious huts built of twigs and shelter-halves; had two meals a day 
 of tinned rations served from new rolling kitchens, with never a 
 fire or cigarette at night. Shells whizzed overhead toward the bridge 
 and crossroads below the hill. Occasionally Allied planes would 
 drive off German interlopers just overhead. There came a night 
 when the cry and alarm of "Gas!" came through the thickly-peopled 
 brush. "No Gas" but the excitement, anyway. 
 
 VIII 
 
 On the twenty-fourth the field hospitals moved down below 
 Parois to Brabant, where they prepared to set up hospitals in half- 
 ruined buildings; 364 was designated as the triage, or sorting and 
 dressing station; 362 worked with them as a surgical unit, 361 took 
 medical cases, and 363 set up its portable showers and oxygen tanks 
 for treatment of gas casualties. Major Ray Matson of Portland and 
 Major Robert T. Smith were attached to our hospitals for the duration 
 of the drive. On the eve of the drive Sergeants Robakowski and 
 Rhoads and some twenty others joined us, filling the company to 
 strength. 
 
 The drive opened on the morning of September 26th. The barrage 
 was tremendous, and the sky lit with constant flashings. It was 
 rumored that all was going well, but not many wounded got back 
 at first to inform us. Columns of prisoners came by, to be stared at 
 and be pestered for souvenirs. In the succeeding couple of days 
 shells dropped near us, but all the hospitals were close enough to the 
 hillside to be protected. 
 
 Rusiness was not rushing at Brabant, so we moved out — 363, 362 
 and 361 hospitals — on the 29th, ostensibly to establish ourselves in 
 the newly captured town of Very. From the hill-top overlooking 
 the town shells seemed to be dropping too thickly for hospitals, so 
 after an all-day vigil in the midst of a still-warm battlefield, we 
 returned several kilometres and established our three hospitals in 
 hastily-put-up tents in Cheppy Woods. Again we prepared to receive 
 gassed cases, while 362 remained a surgical unit, and 361 did triage 
 work. As fast as tents went up in the wet night they were filled by 
 the succeeding truck and S. S. U. ambulance-loads of wounded. By 
 morning it became apparent that the gas cases would not be numer- 
 ous, and that we would become an overflow unit for the triage. 
 Then succeeded several days of tireless work among the broken 
 chaps that came back — dressing, feeding and caring for dozens of 
 wounded by one man who would have had his hands full ordinarily 
 taking care of only one or two. 
 
 It was a swift march of mixed impressions that came to us — 
 too mixed to be able to single out many particular experiences, even 
 at this time. The ridiculous was always occurring with the lugu- 
 brious. But after four days things slackened, and the division was 
 relieved and ordered back to a rest area. 
 
 IX 
 
 Our march led us to barracks in the St. Pierre woods, near Dom- 
 basle, not far from Verdun. During our three days' stay there Ser- 
 geant Turner Neil was evacuated to a base hospital, with acute bron- 
 
 ( 12 ) 
 
 ■B 
 
i chitis. We learned of his death on October 15th, several weeks later, 
 I with a deep feeling of personal loss. The only other war casualty 
 
 in the company was Private First Class Guy W. Weaver, who was 
 § injured by bomb fragments, while returning to the unit from a 
 i hospital at the beginning of the Argonne offensive. [ 
 
 From Dombasle the unit went by truck and on foot to Revigny, 
 j near Bar-le-Duc. On October 12th a medical hospital was set up 
 
 there under the direction of 363. It filled rapidly and soon all the j 
 = equipment and personnel of the four hospitals of the section were = 
 j in use. That continued for five days, until the division started { 
 = moving to Flanders. Chief memories of Revigny are rain and mud, 
 : and more rain and deeper mud. f 
 
 | X I 
 
 = The second phase of our European activity began when we \ 
 
 I entrained for a day and one-half's ride to Belgium. We arrived at 
 
 Elverdinghe on October 19th, after traversing at exceptional speed \ 
 \ through Chateau Thierry, the environs of Paris, Amiens, Boulogne, = 
 I Calais and Dunkerque. We made camp in pup tents nearby, at 
 { Boessinghe, which speedily developed into a marvelously comfortable 
 
 row of shanties with the aid of salvaged corrugated iron and stoves j 
 j from nearby trenches. "Frog Alley" won't be forgotten soon, where i 
 { each man could have had a private ablution bowl among the numer- 
 I ous shell craters all about. Near Boessinghe were the ruins of Ypres, I 
 \ and many a trip to the battered tower of the Cloth Hall, and off into 
 the surrounding desolation of what had been No Man's Land until 
 i a few days before, were made, unofficially, mostly. 
 
 From Boessinghe we marched across the wide desert area where 
 only signs could point out where such immortal places as Langhe- 
 = marcke, Passchendaele and Poelcappelle had existed, to Roulers, 
 E where we stayed for several days before participating in the Lys- { 
 Scheldt offensive. Roulers was the first place in which we came 
 into contact with the Belgians who had been forced to submit to 
 [ German rule — and also with food conditions: absence of most things 
 i at any price, and what could be had, at twenty times what it had 
 I been four years before. ! 
 
 Major Irwin became assistant to the Division Surgeon at Roulers, 
 so Captain Smith led the unit out of town the warm afternoon of i 
 October 30th. It was a pleasant and interesting hike. New ambu- 
 lances driven up from Marseilles promised comfort in the future, j 
 when they weren't at their primary duty. Beet and turnip fields lay 
 j all around us, studded with frequent little red brick houses. We 
 passed through Rumbeke with its decapitated church tower and on 
 along the stone-block, poplar-lined road through Iseghem, apparently 
 almost untouched by war, through Ingelmunster. There a train load { 
 j of small French tanks were beginning to hop over the few kilo- 
 j metres to the front. At Hulste it was twilight and just beyond that \ 
 \ village dark enough for a burning cigarette to gleam across a long 
 distance. This we learned very quickly, for it was not many minutes 
 after the command "put out that light!" until we heard the ominous \ 
 rythmic drone of a Boche air motor. It came nearer and nearer, 
 until it seemed to be hovering just overhead. It was too, as a sudden j 
 flash of flame and a roar barely 80 feet to the left of the column E 
 attested. Many turnips in the field on the right were promptly 
 crushed under prone 0. D. Lucky men found little ditches to squirm

 into. But no more bombs came down close by, so after a few minutes 
 the column was reassembled and moved on to a point just beyond 
 the village of Oyghem, near a hastily constructed bridge over the 
 Lys river, where a hospital was to be set up at once. 
 
 We worked on into the night, putting up tents and equipping them 
 so as to be ready for patients early in the morning. We worked 
 quickly and in total darkness with only bombs exploding in the 
 vicinity of the new bridge to light up the night in glaring flashes. 
 
 Our first patient arrived before six o'clock, and for 30 hours an 
 almost steady stream kept flowing in. Severe cases were turned over 
 to the surgeons of the 362nd Hospital, working with us, and four 
 dressing tables were kept going in our triage under the direction 
 of Captains Peterson and Swanson, the latter having joined us at 
 Roulers. This was war de-luxe compared with our work in Cheppy 
 Woods, and yet one shan't easily forget the two mangled little 
 youngsters brought in during the second morning. 
 
 The second night things were much lighter and only an air raid 
 of three hours duration kept our nerves on edge. By the following 
 morning we were ready to tear down our tents and move on. We 
 hiked eight kilometres to the town of Waereghem and cleaned up 
 the wreckage of the air raid in a big theological seminary there 
 for our billets. We became very comfortable in paneled rooms with 
 German stoves and German beds. We fixed to stay for the duration 
 of the Division's relief only to be ordered back to a rest area the 
 next day. A memorable feature of our loading up the trucks was 
 the succession of shells fired blindly into the town at irregular 
 intervals from just outside. 
 
 We stayed in Oostroosbeke from November 3rd to 8th — muddy 
 tents for billets. Rumors anent an armistice persisted, but on the 
 latter date we found ourselves set up again on the Chateau grounds 
 at Waereghem ready for work. 
 
 XI 
 
 However, we received few casualties, as the advancing 91st found 
 no Germans to fight, apparently. The historic 11th of November 
 found us still in Waereghem, but there was little celebration among 
 ourselves — not that we weren't glad that it was over, but celebration 
 more than firing a few shots in the air and calling "Oui, la guerre 
 fini," to the exultant French soldiers in the town, would have been 
 forced. A French military band kept parading around for days 
 playing "Michael Strokoff" and another vigorous martial air, with a 
 splendid, and to us, novel flourish of trumpets. 
 
 We moved on for a two weeks' stay at Audenarde, on the Scheldt 
 River. We were billeted in a leaky cinema hall. While there we 
 did a little tourist work, interested ourselves in the history of the 
 lacy-stone Stadhuis, and in the several beautiful churches, the tow- 
 ering St. Walburgh was magnificent even in its new shell-wrought 
 ruins. Some lucky boys went to Ghent. 
 
 On November 26th we went by ambulance to Iseghem, where we 
 delayed until December 7th, exchanging then our broom-factory resi- 
 dences for English tin bow huts at Proven. It became a matter of 
 extreme interest those days as to just when we would go home, 
 those that said March or April being unpopular as true prophets 
 usually are. The tedium and mud of Proven were mainly relieved

 by excursions into the surrounding country. Poperinghe, Ypres, 
 Dunkerque and even Calais, Boulogne, Ostend, Bruges, Ghent and 
 Brussells saw us at times in groups of three or four. Captain Horner 
 was assigned to the 53rd Artillery brigade during our stay in Proven, 
 and Lieutenant Ross was assigned to Train Headquarters. Captain 
 Boy D. Byrd of the 347th Machine Gun Battalion exchanged places 
 with Captain Swanson while we were the second time at Waereghem. 
 
 We finally entrained at the neighboring station of Bousbrugge on 
 January 3rd, 1919, for the embarkation area near Le Mans, France. 
 The two days' ride took us via the channel ports, Amiens, Rouen, 
 up the Seine, and over to Versailles, and down to LeFerte-Bernard, 
 where we detrained and hiked nine kilometres to Ceton for our 
 final prolonged stay in Europe. During our stay here Captain Smith 
 received his majority, and the departure of Captains Byrd, Johannes 
 and Peterson left Major Smith our only officer. 
 
 XII 
 
 Now — March 10, 1919 — this interlude in our lives is nearly com- 
 pleted. Some of us have been able to round it out by trips to LeMans, 
 Paris and to the leave areas in Brittany. There remains but the trip 
 in American box cars down to St. Nazaire, the Atlantic crossing, the 
 first breaking up at Camp Upton by the boys who have joined us 
 from the East, Middle West and South, and the removal of the bulk 
 of us to Camp Lewis for our demobilization. 
 
 But these will come in swift succession and will represent the 
 least important of the activities of the 363rd Field Hospital Company. 
 The training at Camp Lewis, our work in the Argonne and again in 
 West and East Flanders, will be the things that will most readily 
 occur to us when we are lingering reminiscently over the white linen 
 and silver of the dining table, in "Cits" clothes again. Those are the 
 things we will talk about but — perhaps only unconsciously — won't 
 the things we'll be thinking about, be the associations we have 
 formed, and the affections we have for the old bunch?

 MAJOR \V. CARLTON SMITH 
 
 Major Smith was commissioned a first lieutenant 
 in the Medical Corps before the declaration of war, on 
 March 24, 1917. He was ordered to Fort Riley for 
 training on May 25, coming to Camp Lewis September 
 8, 1917. He joined the 363rd Field Hospital Company 
 on October 30th, receiving his captaincy November 
 13th. For a long time in the spring of 1918 the then 
 captain commanded the company in Major Sellwood's 
 absence, and again from the time we left Camp Lewis 
 until we reached Montigny-le-Roi. 
 
 Upon the transfer of Major Irwin at Roulers, Rel- 
 gium, he regained the command, keeping it until the 
 demobilization of the unit. His majority was received 
 February 21, 1919, with the sincere congratulations of 
 his men, who felt that he had long deserved it. 
 
 It would have been impossible for any company to 
 have had a more considerate and just commanding 
 "officier" than Major Smith has been. In no small 
 part has our feeling that "we've played the game" been 
 due to him and his wise leadership; 363 has been very 
 lucky to have had him at the helm.

 CAPTAIN ROY D. BYRD 
 
 Captain Roy D. Byrd was not an officer of our com- 
 pany for a very long period, but in the time he was 
 with us, we learned to hold him in very high regard. 
 A doctor who was always willing to help the sick and 
 wounded, Captain Byrd soon came into favor with 
 every one. 
 
 Captain Byrd's home is in Salem where he was 
 commissioned in the M. R. C. July 16, 1917. He was 
 put on active service in September and assigned to the 
 347th Machine Gun Battalion as regimental surgeon 
 September 23, 1917. Captain Byrd remained with this 
 outfit through the training period and the St. Mihiel 
 and Argonne offensives and part of the Lys-Scheldt 
 drive. On November 9 he was assigned to 303 and 
 remained with us until he left to return to the states in 
 March.

 CAPTAIN EDWARD A. PETERSON 
 
 Captain Edward A. Peterson of Vallejo, California, 
 joined 303 in September, 1917, as a lieutenant and 
 proved himself to be a regular fellow right from the 
 start. 
 
 Captain Peterson both as Supply Officer, the hard- 
 est job in the outfit, and in the care of the sick, proved 
 himself a very capable and conscientious officer. 
 
 It was with a feeling of deep personal loss that we 
 bade him goodbye when just before leaving France he 
 was transferred to the Occupation Forces in Germany.

 Lieutenant Linford S. Besson was assigned to 3(33

 1917. He remained with us through the training period 
 at Camp Lewis and through the turmoil of the Argonne. 
 He was then detailed as a medical officer with the 
 Engineers and Infantry of the 91st Division. 
 
 Lieutenant Besson was always a regular fellow, tak- 
 ing part with the men of the company in athletic and 
 other company affairs with much energy and enthus- 
 iasm. Needless to say he was always popular with the 
 rank and file, which even in Democratic America did 
 not win him favor with his superior officers. But the 
 war is over now and the men of 303 will testify to his 
 good qualities as a man among men and a physician 
 and surgeon. Dr. Besson has offices in the Selling

 MAJOR JOHN J. SELLWOOD 
 Our First Commanding Officer 
 
 No history of the company would be complete without mention 
 of Major John J. Sellwood, our first commanding officer. Early in 
 1917 Dr. Sellwood of the Sellwood Hospital received his commission 
 as captain in the United States Medical Reserve Corps. When placed 
 on active duty in August, Captain Sellwood was given command of 
 the Ambulance Company he had helped Captain Greene recruit. No 
 need repeating the history of Camp Lewis, where we were made into 
 a field hospital outfit, with Captain Sellwood as C. O. 
 
 In January of 1918 he was promoted to major and left for France 
 the following June with the advance party of the 91st Division, re- 
 joining us as company commander at Montigny Le Roi just before the 
 fall offensives opened. Shortly before going into action in the 
 Argonne offensive, Major Sellwood was made Regimental Surgeon 
 of the 361st Infantry, which command occupied his time until the 
 division reached Roulers, Relgium, where, from exhaustion, he was 
 forced to take to his bed in the hospital. After recovery Major Sell- 
 wood was returned to the United States. Upon being discharged he 
 took up his work at the Sellwood Hospital, Portland, Oregon.

 Argonne where he arrived with beaucoup cigarettes 
 and cigars and chocolates for the wounded. We im- 
 mediately annexed him to our company and for six 
 months he has been as much of 363 as any man in the 
 outfit. A veteran of the Spanish-American War him- 
 self, "Mac" has played the game like few of his organ- 
 ization in the A. E. F. Every man in the train learned 
 to like McCullagh and rely on his judgment and advice. 
 He got us Camels when no other outfit in the division 
 had them. He gave us candy when we were broke. He 
 gave us counsel when we were in trouble and he 
 showed himself to be a "He Man" at all times. The 
 worst we wish him is that he be prosperous and happy 
 in the sunset of his life.

 LIEUTENANT CLYDE L. MEACH 
 
 When 363 landed at Camp Lewis that hot noon of 
 August 27, 1917, Clyde L. Meach was our Moses, who 
 lead us out of the wilderness. Meach was the "topper" 
 in those days, and the only man in the outfit who knew 
 his business and enjoyed alike the confidence of the 
 11!) recruits and the C. 0. 
 
 While coming direct from civil life, he had done a 
 few turns in the Oregon National Guard, and was a 
 natural born soldier. He whipped the outfit into shape 
 in quick time, and it was only natural that he should 
 go up for promotion. Before many months had passed 
 Meach graduated from the Third O. T. C. in high stand- 
 ing, being commissioned a second lieutenant of In- 
 fantry. It was not long before he was promoted to first 
 lieutenantcy, and was made assistant adjutant in the 
 First U. S. Infantry, 13th Division. 
 
 A man among men, a soldier and a gentleman, it is 
 only natural that he should succeed. We all honor 
 Lieutenant Meach for what he is.

 LIEUTENANT ORLANDO L. TORREY 
 
 Orlando L. (Lou) Torrey first became a joy to his

 "Lou" was one of the originals, joining the Daredevil

 He was appointed sergeant in charge of records in 
 December, 1917, in which position he won his fame 
 by his evening entertainments held in the company 
 office. 
 
 Torrey left us in June, 1918, to attend the Training 
 School for Artillery Officers. Commissioned lieutenant

 1919, and assigned to 5th Reg., F. A. R. D., at Camp 
 Jackson, South Carolina, acting as regimental personnel

 ary, 1919. 
 
 Since being discharged Torrey has been connected

 LIEUTENANT CLYDE A. BEALS 
 
 It was not very much of a surprise, to those who 
 knew him best, that Clyde A. Beals, should win for 
 himself a commission as second lieutenant of infantry. 
 Beals, then a sergeant, left our outfit on May 15, 1!)1<S,

 commissioned on August 26, 1918 and assigned for duty 
 to the Depot Brigade at Camp Lewis. 
 
 Beals proved himself a clever drill master and in-

 Camp Lewis, and was one of the youngest men gradu- 
 ated from the officers training schools at American 
 Lake. Lieutenant Beals was discharged from the serv-

 Neil came to the company from its original source, being one of 
 the 11!) men that Captain Sellwood brought up to Camp Lewis. He 
 was immediately made assistant to the mess sergeant, acting as chief 
 of the kitchen for a short time following Sergeant Sanford's transfer. 
 In June, 1918, Neil received his sergeancy and undertook the work 
 of a duty sergeant until the time he left us. 
 
 While working in a ward during our period in Cheppy Woods the 
 first sign appeared of the cold which eventually became the bron- 
 chial pneumonia that caused his death. He was evacuated while we 
 were at St. Pierre Woods, on Oct. 9th, dying in Base Hospital No. 54 
 at Meves, France, on Oct. 15, 1918. 
 
 Neil received his education at the University of Oregon. He was 
 a good athlete, and took a live interest in all company affairs. Both 
 as a private and as a non-commissioned officer he was well liked, 
 and one of the boys. Only the most pleasant memories can be recalled 
 when thinking of him. We regret that even one of our number was 
 called upon to make the supreme sacrifice, but there is not a man 
 who would not have died like him, in the service of his country.

 By H. H. Laman 
 
 In order to comment impartially on N. C. O.'s, one must be in 
 a position for unprejudiced observation. I know of no better rank 
 in the army for such, than that of those unfortunate enough to 
 serve under them. 
 
 Not that my experience under them has been aught but pleasant. 
 Far be it from my humble self to insinuate anything of the sort. 
 I have always seen much to admire and emulate in these modest and 
 unassuming exponents of discipline. That will be quite evident in 
 the following article: 
 
 Our company was, from the first, blessed by a wise choice of 
 non-coms. After careful consideration, our esteemed commander, 
 chose his "unter officiers" for their ability and manly bearing, which 
 was apparent to all immediately on our arrival in camp. A short 
 resume of the qualities of each one might be interesting if only for 
 old times sake. 
 
 Of our original "Topper," I need not say very much. We all 
 know he had no redeeming qualities, for it was from our commander 
 that he received his knowledge of military tactics. 
 
 I hesitate in mentioning Sergeant Beals; I could not do him 
 justice. 
 
 Sergeant Cushing, as sergeant of records, was all that a "buck" 
 could wish for. He had the "air," so to speak, of that exalted posi- 
 tion and the respect tendered him by all the company was enough 
 to make a "C. 0." weep with envy. 
 
 I could write indefinitely on the qualities of my next "object." 
 We will always remember Sergeant Hill for his consideration in 
 handling men and his fatherly way of pointing out and correcting 
 their mistakes. 
 
 There was Sergeant MacKenzie, a man of great ability and grand 
 ideas (for distinction in rank), and a natural leader. But scorning 
 the steps by which he rose, and unbalanced by the atmosphere of 
 his lofty position, he fell or was dropped, only to rise again to a 
 corporalcy, by his spectacular work on K. P. It was as a corporal 
 that he won fame in France. 
 
 It was not through her receptions and teas that "Mother," alias 
 Sergeant Alrutz, won her fame, but on the drill field. But our 
 commander had no eye for real ability, so "Ma" became a "buck." 
 
 Sergeant Badgely came "from out of the nowhere into the here," 
 but did not stay long. 
 
 A good example of what a commanding personality will get one 
 in the army, is found in Corporal Patton, a man's man, who was 
 rapidly advanced, through his real ability, not through "pull" as 
 many others rose. Later, in the O. T. C, though, partiality kept him 
 from the commission he expected, perhaps his voice was improved 
 under some much-needed training. 
 
 Everybody agrees with Private Grimm that he should have been 
 made top sergeant. 
 
 a- 
 
 ( 28 ) 
 
El- 
 
 Corporals Cliff and Averill were dropped from the "chosen few" 
 for their gentlemanly conduct toward the men. Corporal Springston 
 was, sorry to say, the only "rowdy" N. C. O. we had in our company. 
 
 Sergeant Decker was especially fitted for a command in the 
 army, by his previous training in the navy. He was very popular. 
 
 Before leaving for "over there," it was necessary to letter all 
 baggage and equipment. Was it not fortunate that Sergeant Crowe 
 had been adequately trained by our commander in the genteel art 
 of whitewashing? 
 
 After the departure of Sergeant Meach, was it not Sergeant Het- 
 rick, who, as "Topper," always shielded us from the "Old Man's" 
 wrath? 
 
 Tho burdened with the responsibilities of the Q. M. and supplying 
 the "carmen" of the company with good uniforms, Sergeant Ranes 
 finds time to be the company "jester." He is, in truth, the only one 
 who appreciates his jokes. 
 
 The "C. O.'s" excepted, Sergeant Meach was the only man who 
 ever ran our company. Sergeant J. M. Slavin also "tried" it. A tre- 
 mendous success, n'est ce pas? 
 
 While in France, Sergeant Portouw was transferred from the Q. 
 M. to a delouser for a "period of rest." The Q. M. was bad for one 
 of Bill's "even" temperment. 
 
 Sergeant Hansen has always tried to ruin our digestion with his 
 "slum" but thus far we have survived. Both in his "cuisine" and on 
 the stage, Ole has a way about him that is irresistible. 
 
 Sergeant Graham, one of our originals, is a very quiet and un- 
 assuming fellow. Were it not for the company roster, one would 
 never know he was with us. Further details furnished on request. 
 
 Sergeants Rhoades and Robakowski joined us while in France. 
 They are two awful "rowdies" but good material for a "W. W." 
 division. They hail from Chi. 
 
 Sergeant Scott, our esteemed society leader, is always in demand. 
 His talks now, are very uplifting and eagerly listened to. When not 
 discoursing on medicine, he has a tendency to talk journalism and 
 other such trash. 
 
 I have yet to mention Sergeant Windsor, our present "top cutter," 
 a martinet at drill and our "star" baseball player in his leisure hours. 
 Windy is naturally lazy, but in the Argonne, owing to scarcity of 
 skilled labor, was forced to work, forming the major portion of sev- 
 eral burial details. The fame of his heroism there has already been 
 printed in the papers of "his own home town." 
 
 Last but not least comes our "Boy Corporal" — "Spot Tatreau." 
 Was it not true when it was said "and a little child shall lead them." 
 Without a doubt, "Spot" is the most energetic man in the company. 
 Take a look at him and guess how old the child is. 
 
 In closing, it is necessary to say a few words on behalf of my 
 comrades in the ranks. We will all feel a great personal loss, when, 
 thru demobilization, we are taken from under the uplifting influence 
 of our N. C. O.'s. 
 
 I can only say, in our various walks in later life, let us always 
 keep these shining examples before us and I am sure we will be 
 successful in our professions and a source of pride to all.

Sergeant First Class Frederick G.Windsor is 
 our Top Kicker, which everybody knows is the 
 toughest job in the army. "Windy" got away with 
 the job in fine style, being popular with his men 
 and at the same time getting results. He was born 
 in England in April, 1894, and went to the United 
 States in 1913, making Portland his home. He 
 enlisted in Captain Sellwood's "Daredevils" in 
 June, 1917, and succeeded Mark Hetrick as first 
 sergeant in May, 1918. Windsor is a painter by 
 trade, and will be at home at 395 East Nineteenth 
 Street North, Portland, Oregon. Life's ambition 
 is to learn to play billiards. 
 
 Sergeant First Class Howard H. Hill came into 
 existence twenty-eight years ago; he still gives 
 signs of promise. To speak of his talents of 
 diplomacy and clever skill, one has only to recall 
 that he was hospital sergeant of the outfit during 
 our whole European experience, acquitting himself 
 with credit, though he probably knew less about 
 a hospital than any man in the company. Hill's 
 civilian life trotted him all over the country as 
 a newspaper and advertising man, so that he bad 
 the broad and caustic experience that made him 
 a valuable non-com. and trustworthy adviser to 
 any one in difficulty. Despite his dry, pitiless 
 wit, he ever remained popular and respected 
 among the men. Hill has a preference for Seattle 
 and doubtless can be found there at some time or 
 other. It is doubtful if he will ever marry unless 
 some charming widow of wealth — and culture — 
 takes him unto herself. 
 
 Sergeant First Class Macraemond John James 
 Slavin used only twelve words in his own bio- 
 graphical sketch, which anyone who knows him 
 will admit is modest indeed. The world made 
 room for him on July 26, 189(i, and after he grew 
 to enormous size, he became a salesman of paper 
 products. Possessed of a peculiarly smiling tem- 
 perament, he has still been known to let go at 
 times until the very orders in their files turned 
 over and got lost from their places in blank dis- 
 may. We earnestly recommend him as an excellent 
 possible convert to the Church of the Latter Day 
 Saints. His home address is 506 Davis Street, 
 Portia nil, Oregon. 
 
 Sergeant Paul B. Hansen is our mess sergeant. 
 God bless him. We owe a lot of things to "Ole" 
 for the way he has fed us in France and other 
 places, but "Ole" also owes a lot to us for being 
 able to digest some of the things he served. He 
 made an enviable reputation in the Argonne where 
 he salvaged enough food to establish that which 
 developed into practically a casual kitchen, though 
 according to orders we were only feeding the 
 wounded and ourselves. No man was ever turned 
 away without something in those strenuous days 
 of battle. Cooks worked night and day in what 
 proved to be an oasis in the desert for troops 
 going in and for those poor devils that were com- 
 ing out more dead than alive.

Sergeant Joseph C. Rhoaps first saw the light 
 of day at Harrisburg, Pa., in January, 1890. He

 May. He joined our company at Brabant in Sep- 
 tember.

 Sergeant Evan A. Ranks is a native of Forest 
 Grove, Oregon, and is 32 years old. He enlisted 
 in May, 1917, at Portland, in which city he worked 
 as a street car conductor. For the last five months 
 of our army life he has been our supply sergeant.

 Sergeant William E. Scott is our star literary 
 man. No small part of this book has been the

 ing our long association. He was born in Mil- 
 waukee, Wis., in June, 1890, later moving to 
 Pittsburg, where he spent the greater part of his

 Herbert L. Mackenzie — "Herby" was born in 
 Grants Pass, Oregon, April 8, 189fi. He's better 
 known as "Mac," but the diminutive is used, 
 because it fits him better as the biggest man in 
 the outfit. A chauffeur before he entered the 
 army on May 23, 1917, he was assigned as truck- 
 master of the company. No trucks were forth- 
 coming, however, so he soon annexed the Y. M. 
 C. A. to himself, by way of keeping busy and out 
 of mischief. Says he has no matrimonial pros- 
 pects, but we doubt it. Can be located through 
 the M. A. A. C, Portland, Oregon. 
 
 Corporal Ross Tatreau is a native of Nebraska

 Denmark in 1896. He came to the United States 
 in January, 1917, and volunteered the following 
 May. He has sailed all the seven seas, but the 
 boys have persisted in calling him "The small sea 
 sailor." His connections with various enterprises 
 also won for him the name of "The Manager." 
 If a certain lady in Ceton, France, had not been 
 encumbered with a tank driver for a husband, 
 "The Manager" would probably not be single. 
 Address: Box 873, Vancouver, Wash. 
 
 Wagoner Ivan W. Dakin was born in Minne- 
 sota April 25, 1893. Moved to Oregon in 1903. 
 Single but still living in hopes. Mr. Dakin has

 his fortune in great America. Evidently America 
 furnished excellent opportunity for the uninter- 
 rupted pursuit of his chosen vocation — buying and 
 selling of most anything under any circumstances, 
 even on foreign capital. At any rate, he felt

 daunted, he expects, when he gets back, to go on

 Private David Nelson is our model man. He 
 never swears, smokes, drinks, or in fact hasn't 
 any petty vices. Is a souvenir hunter of great 
 renown, and had a violent dislike for Hun air- 
 planes. He served a large part of his enlistment 
 at K. P., and dog-robbing, making himself equally 
 popular with the boys when dishing out the 
 prunes or breaking in at the head of the line for 
 his officer's food. Always spent his money as 
 liberally as he lavished prunes. Before the war 
 David made his home in Minneapolis with hi 
 wife. He was born in 1890 in Minneapolis, which 
 of course explains his inherited short-comings. 
 If someone does not do him bodily harm before

 Just before leaving France for the return to America the men of 
 the 363rd Field Hospital organized a club to be known as the "363rd 
 Field Hospital Company, 31(ith Sanitary Train Club." 
 
 The purpose of the organization, it states in the constitution, is 
 to keep the members of the company in touch with one another and 
 perpetuate the history of the organization. Membership was limited 
 to men who had served at least two months in the company and 
 who had received an honorable discharge from the service. 
 
 The first work of the club has been to publish and circulate 
 among the members this history. It is planned to have meetings and 
 reunions from time to time. The following were elected officers for 
 the first year: Major W. C. Smith, Honorary President; II. Earl 
 Marteeny, President; Robert M. Johnson, Vice President; Fred A. 
 Lothrop, Secretary; Howard Hill, Historian. 
 
 An Afternmm Nrar Bn*ij 
 
 By Major W. Carlton Smith 
 
 We stood on the hillside at Very, 
 Plight near to a munition dump; 
 
 The Boche had good range on Very, 
 In my throat there rose a great lump. 
 
 The dead were strewn about Very, 
 
 The first wave of battle just passed; 
 
 Artillery was planted 'round Very — 
 We knew from the roar and the blast. 
 
 Our guns were behind us at Very, 
 
 In front was the enemy's line, 
 Why the hell we stayed around Very 
 
 I never could hardly opine. 
 
 I remember the Sunday near Very, 
 
 And the airplanes that flew o'er in a pack; 
 
 I don't want again to see Very, 
 
 And, believe me, I'll never go back.

 Next to Saturday, May 10, Thursday, May 8, will 
 go down iu our memories as the day of days. It was 
 at 8 o'clock on the morning of May 8, 1919, that 363 
 with the other units of the Sanitary Train arrived 
 in Portland to be greeted by hundreds of relatives 
 and friends. Portland did herself proud that day in 
 according the returning soldiers the greatest recep- 
 tion given any home coming troops.

 Attfbtirs 
 
 Though having but one athlete of championship calibre, our com- 
 pany has always made a good showing, and our teams even in defeat 
 have won the respect of their opponents. Even as small a company 
 as we are, we have not confined our activities to any sport, but have 
 always had teams or representatives in every branch of athletics. 
 While we had more time at Camp Lewis for sports, even in France 
 we had the spirit, so were always well represented in Train and 
 Divisional athletics. 
 
 Baseball 
 
 As there was no Train team in the summer of 1!)17, our company 
 team held all our interest, winning all of its games. Lieutenant Bes- 
 son, our pitcher, was ably backed by such men as Cadegan, Molin, 
 Hurst and Burgard. 
 
 The season of 1918 was most successful, our company team win- 
 ning many games and being represented on the "Medic" nine by 
 Cadegan, Molin and Hurst. The team won many games, both at 
 Camp Lewis and in France. 
 
 Football 
 
 We had no football team, owing to lack of good material, but 
 Archibald represented us on the "Medic eleven," champions of Lewis 
 for the season of 1917-18. There were no football games in 1918-19, 
 as we were busy in France. 
 
 Basketball 
 
 During the season of 1917-18 we were most successful, our com- 
 pany team winning the Train championship without a defeat. The 
 team consisted of Gerling, Laman (captain), forwards; Neil, center, 
 and Ogle and Burgard, guards. On the Medic team, eliminated in 
 the semi-finals, we were represented by Burgard and Laman (cap- 
 tain). In France in 1918-19 there were no inter-company games, but 
 Burgard and Laman again were on the Medic team, which did not 
 fare so well as the year before. Games were played in the Le Mans 
 area and at St. Nazaire before embarking. 
 
 Boxing 
 
 It was in this branch of sports that our company had a champion, 
 in the person of "Bobby" Ward of St. Paul. "Bobby" arrived too 
 late for the finals at Camp Lewis, but in France he proved his worth. 
 "Bobby" won every fight he was in "over there," usually by the 
 "K. O." route, defeating the pride of several other divisions, and 
 getting a great hand at his last fight in France, at St. Nazaire prior 
 to embarking. We are all backing "Bobby" to make a great record in 
 the future. 
 
 Though it was not possible for all the boys to participate, they 
 did their share by backing our teams to the limit. The fighting spirit 
 of 3G3 was ever present even in defeat. R. H. L.

 Support (Bxwxx by Auxiliary 
 (greatly Appreciated 
 
 When the orders came in li)17 to mobolize and de- 
 part for Camp Lewis, the Ladies Auxilliary of the 
 company had all ready mobolized and was laying plans 
 for an active campaign in our behalf. Never have we 
 asked for a favor that has not been granted, even from 
 supplying an innovation in sleeping socks to the buying 
 of floral pieces. To those women who so loyally sup- 
 ported us and looked after our interests during the war 
 each member of the company has a deep feeling of 
 gratitude. 
 
 The first officers were as follows: 
 
 President, Mrs. Mary Krall 
 Treasurer, Miss Russell 
 Secretary, Miss L. M. Hawley 
 
 Mrs. Krall retained the presidency throughout the 
 war and Miss Hawley has always been the obliging 
 secretary. Mrs. Springston and Mrs. Lothrop have 
 acted as treasurer at different times, while Mrs. Greene 
 has ably served as vice president. 
 
 Streneous efforts were required to raise money in 
 the early days of the war when there were so many 
 things of the sort being done, but our auxilliary always 
 succeeded and the company always benefited by their 
 work. Besides, the fruit and sweets that we received 
 in Camp Lewis, a considerable portion of the cost of 
 this book has been borne by the auxilliary. 
 
 For the many things you have given us, for your 
 moral support which we always felt was with us, we 
 want to sincerely thank each and every one of you. 
 Without you we could not have accomplished what 
 we have.

In 2fr irnsprrttti? 
 
 Now that we are all back in "Civies" and the most of us strug- 
 gling with the ordinary affairs of life, looking back, it was not such 
 a bad war for 363. We had our troubles to be sure, but there is a 
 tendency to forget the bad and remember only the good and the 
 humorous. We learned a lot of things that will be worth while. We 
 found out that American efficiency was not as efficient as we 
 thought it was. Still it was the best army of the lot. It behooves all 
 of us to see that the inexcusable errors of this mans' army are not 
 perpetrated on the next one. Let us keep posted on what is going on 
 in a military way. 
 
 We often wonder why it was that Major "Bill" Brewer made such 
 a thorough inspection of packs, and instructed in the proper manner 
 of carrying same, after we had carried them for the last time. Some 
 even went so far as to say that Major "Bill" did not know much about 
 packs any way. 
 
 None of us ever knew until we boarded the U. S. S. Virginian to 
 return to the states, that we did not rank chicken and eggs. The 
 hold of the boat was full of good food but it never got as far as the 
 serving stations. Some of the crew did however retail very fine egg 
 sandwiches, in the cover of darkness, for the very reasonable sum of 
 50 cents. 
 
 The boys in the outfit who were natives of the British Isles, will 
 never quite understand why they could not get passes to visit their 
 parents, less than 24 hours awav, when the war ended on Novem- 
 ber 11, 1918, and we did not sail' for the U. S. A. until April 8, 1911). 
 Some of the rest of us wonder why no one got legitimate passes to 
 visit Paris when the Stars and Stripes was announcing with weekly 
 regularity that every man in the A. E. F. in good standing was entitled 
 to visit the capital of the world. 
 
 We often wondered why it was that Lieutenant Colonel Stanley 
 Berry was not made "Social" director of the 91st division, instead of 
 Atheltic Director. Some one, in the same breath, wants to know why 
 it was that practically all of the French and American war crosses 
 went to the officers and men of the 3(54th Ambulance Company. 
 
 Lieutenant Colonel H. B. Beynolds had wonderful ability as a 
 map reader. We often thought General Pershing should have made 
 him an instructor in this important phase of modern war fare. 
 
 It was not our misfortune to visit Brest and its misery. But we 
 did visit a mobile hospital where they issued hip boots for the order- 
 lies to wear when working in the wards. And this two months after 
 the armistice bad been signed and in territory the Germans had never 
 occupied. Let it be said to the credit of General Johnston that he 
 moved the 91st men out when he discovered the conditions.
