A newspaper account of the field day held by the Berkshire County Farm Bureau in New Marlboro, contains this reference to a fellow classmate:
"Among the first guests to arrive was Henry N. Teague, manager of the Greylock in Williamstown, and owner of Shadowbrook Farm. Mr. Teague is one of Northern Berkshire's prominent hog fanciers, and it was chiefly his interest in hogs that induced him to take the long trip from Williamstown to New Marlboro."
The following letter from John C. Redington bears date of September 9:
"Our regiment, formerly the Ist Illinois Field Artillery, but now known as the 149th U. S. Field Artillery, was one of the first chosen for the division which is going abroad this month, and which has been dubbed the 'Rainbow' division, its make-up coming from all parts of the United States. We have shipped over 900 horses already, but are not taking our guns. The French 75° are considered to be much superior, and we are to fire them.
"Our division is now encamped on Hempstead Plain, near Garden City, L. I., and is practically complete. All the troops are volunteers, and all units are at full war strength, —about 20,000 men. We have one brigade of artillery made up of regiments from Minnesota, Indiana, and Illinois; Kansas and Georgia supplying the ammunition trains. The Ist, 2d, and 3d companies of Maryland Coast Artillery form the trench mortar batteries, and three companies of Virginia Coast Artillery are the military police. There are four full regiments of infantry, now numbering about 3500 men each. In addition are the machine gun battalions attached to each brigade.
"Major-General Mann is in command of the division; Brigadier-General Summerall of the brigade. Our Colonel Henry J. Reilly—a West Pointer—is a splendid officer, and has put our regiment in fine shape.
"The life has its attractions and its uncertainties. There is much to learn about modern artillery fire, and there is the daily routine of camp life. I am now a first lieutenant in Battery C. Our Captain, George Richardson, is a Yale man, and my tent mate is also a Yale man, Joseph M. Patterson, known to fame as one of the owners of "The World's Greatest Newspaper." We have two Dartmouth boys in the Battery, both of the class of '18, Philip Chase and Stewart Burns.
"We do not know . anything of our future plans, but rumor has it that our division will embark before October Ist. The boys are all keen for going. I do not, myself, face the trip without a certain amount of depression. It's hard to think that possibly many of the men may not get back. I wish I could hear from you at times. Letters are most welcome. Give my warm remembrances to all the fellows of the class. My address now is Lt. J. C. Redington, Battery C, 149th Field Artillery, Camp Mills, N. Y. After we sail, same designation of regiment, but add American Expeditionary Force, and will be forwarded."
Secretary, Natt W. Emerson, 10 State St., Boston
