When I tell you that these soldiers say, "Men who have not been at Verdun have not seen the war yet," and then add that the life of the 118th here looks like a long picnic, and that they make play of their work, play of their grenade practice, which they vary with football, play of their twenty miles hikes, I give you leave to laugh at my way of seeing the war, and I'll even laugh with you.
His mother told me that when he was growing up to manhood, his father, Harry Gloyd, was Justice of the Peace in Newport, Ohio, twelve years, and that Charlie was so disgusted with the drink cases, that he would go in a room and lock himself in, to get out of their hearing; that he never touched a drop until he went in the army, the 118th regiment, Thomas L. Young being the Colonel. Dr.
Ask the Pearl and she will show you how much she knows of the news of the City and the Province. Lalun knows everything. 'Lalun, I said at random she was talking to a gentleman of the Kurd persuasion who had come in from God-knows-where 'when does the 175th Regiment go to Agra? 'It does not go at all, said Lalun, without turning her head. 'They have ordered the 118th to go in its stead.
For half an hour there was a rush up the hill boys bringing me back my books, coming to shake hands and present me with little souvenirs, and bring the news that the camions were coming which meant that the 118th were going right into action again. When a regiment starts in such a hurry that it must take a direct line, and cannot bother with railroads, the boys know what that means.
The yelling they do very well indeed, and they kick well, and run well. But, if they only knew the game active, and agile, and light as they are they would enjoy it, and play it well. I had one of the nicest thrills I have had for many a day soon after the 118th arrived. It was a sunny afternoon.
From here following the parallel of 7 degrees 40 minutes north to its intersection with 116 degrees longitude east.

Burbridge had with him only his First brigade, about 1,200 strong, with 500 men of the 118th Illinois mounted infantry and the 14th New York cavalry, under Fonda, Rice's 17th Ohio battery, and Marland's section of Nims's battery; in all, 1,625 men.
I began to think there was every type in the world in this famous 118th, and I was not far from wrong. The very next day I got the most delicious type of all the French- American very French to look at, but with New York stamped all over him especially his speech. Of all these boys, this is the one I wish you could see.
The day after their return, this Company was sent to Cynthiana and did duty for some weeks with the 118th Ohio, in breaking up recruiting station, Col. Mott commanding. After having completed this service, Co. E, Capt. Rankin commanding, was ordered first to Paris, thence to Carlisle, which place was reached about midnight.
The Apostles and disciples were present, singing the 118th Psalm. Jesus spoke of a new period then beginning, and said that the sacrifice of Moses and the figure of the Paschal Lamb were about to receive their accomplishment, but that on this very account, the lamb was to be immolated in the same manner as formerly in Egypt, and that they were really about to go forth from the house of bondage.
