OLD TENTH ENGINEERS HOBOKEN SHEET 



8S7 



Sergeant George A. Callaway was commis- 

 sioned second lieutenant, October 8th, and is 

 assigned for duty at Aureilhan Camp. 



Sergeant Robert S. Henry succeeds Lieutenant 

 Callaway as Sergeant in charge of the mill opera- 

 tions at Aureilhan. 



Lieutenant Charles T. Kraebel, formerly ser- 

 geant in Co. B, later with "The Stars and 

 Stripes," is now with Captain Swift Berry on 

 reconnaissance work. 



Lieutenant \V. F. Ramsdell formerly sergeant 

 with Co. B, is at present stationed at Head- 

 quarters, 2nd Dist. Depot Division, 1st Corps. 



Sergeant Glenn C. Fullenwider, who has had 

 charge of part of the woods operations at Courant 

 River Camp, left for Haute Marne on Novem- 

 ber 5th. He is now a student ir* the Engineer 

 Officers' Training School. 



Courant River Camp is now operating a steam 

 skidder to skid logs from the wood to the river. 



Owing to the extremely low water in the river 

 we have experienced a good deal of difficulty 

 in logging the Aureilhan mill. Conditions have 

 improved somewhat with the recent rains. 



The following promotions were made in th*e 

 company November 7, 1918: 



Huge V. Badertscher, from sergeant to first 

 sergeant; Oliver M. Savre, from corporal to ser- 

 geant; Fred M. Reed, from wagoner to sergeant; 

 Carl W. Labhart, from private first-class to ser- 

 geant; Samuel A. Brasher, from lance corporal 

 to corporal ; Chas. W. Cook, from private first- 

 class to corporal; Ray O. Pattison. from private 

 first-class to corporal; Mathias B. Stonestreet, 

 from private first-class to corporal; Robert K. 

 McClelland, from private to corporal. 



Co. C, 10th Engineers, Pontenz (Landes). 



We received the news yesterday that the Armis- 

 tice had been signed and of course the French peo- 

 ple here just went wild, the same as every other 

 place in France. They burned the Kaiser in 

 effigy in Pontenx and had a big lantern parade. 

 The thing that makes me sore is that they did 

 not allow the mills to shut down and give the 

 men a chance to celebate. One of our men stole 

 the big nut off of the saw mandrel, and we had 

 to shut down until we found it. It certainly 

 was a kid trick, but it gave the night crew 

 time to celebrate. 



We broke all records last month, and also won 

 the cut in September. We cut 99,050 feet one 

 day last month, and nearly 1,800,000 feet for the 

 month. The spirit has been better in the last 

 three months than I "have ever seen it. The men 

 have certainly done great work. They are tack- 

 ling everything as though they were playing 

 a long game of football. There is a great deal 

 of rivalry between the woods crew and the mill 

 crew, and also between one outfit and the other 

 mills. 



1st Detachment, 10th Engineers, Donzy (Nievre). 



At the end of August, the 1st Detachment com- 

 pleted the Mortumier Operation near Gien, in 

 so far as available saw logs were concerned, 

 and moved overland, a distance of some 80 

 kilometres, to the new operation near Ciez- 

 Couloutre. The dismantling of the mill, moving 

 of camp, mill and equipment overland and the 

 setting up of the new camp and mill at Ciez- 

 Couloutre was accomplished in one week which 

 was pretty quick work. The new operation con- 

 sists entirely of oak, running to fairly good 

 sized stock, with large quantities of coppice, 

 now being cut by quartermaster and artillery 

 troops. 



Captain Benedict left this station the latter 

 part of September to assume command of old 

 Co D of the 10th, and First Lieutenant T. H 

 Hughes of the 13th Co., 20th Engineers was 

 tied as Commanding Officer. Lieutenant 

 HuKhes has since been appointed captain. 



Second Lieutenant W. R. Brown has been ap- 

 pointed first lieutenant and is still in charge of 

 the mill and shipping end of this operation. 



Wagoners Frank H. McAleer, Reuben P. Mil- 

 ler. George M. I singer and Sergeant Michael E. 

 ady were transferred to the Motor Trans- 

 <"orps as motor drivers the latter part of 

 August and we have since heard that they were 

 driving trucks in the midst of the "Big Push" 

 at St. Mihiel. McAleer returned on a short leave 

 and told some very interesting tales of his ex- 

 ces at and near the front, 

 rporal Fred H. Miller has been transferred 

 to the Army Candidates School. 



The following is a list of recent promotions 

 1st Detachment: 



Earl Weaver has been appointed sergeant.

 following were appointed wagoners: Thomas A.
