First Rensselaer Boys Arrive At Southern Training Camp.
Ernest C. Moore, Emil W. Hanley and John Luers were the first Rensselaer boys to arrive at Hattiesburg, Miss., the southern training camp for the Indiana soldiers. These boys are members of the Field Hospital No. 2, of Frankfort, Ind. The train carrying an ambulance company from Indianapolis and the hospital unit, arrived at Hattiesburg Saturday. The train was composed of 22 CATS* Immediately after detraining the men were ordered to mess and the meal was a merry one, for the soldiers were hungry and tired from their long, uneventful trip.
