There was another humorous incident. Capt. Bickford went at once to the Hdq. of the Nat'l Guard that we knew was stationed there & asked them to assist us. Gave them a pep-talk on how good the experience would be for them, etc. So while they were patrolling the outskirts, we were making merry in the town. Some fun, eh? When our job was done, we got the boys together with a shot from a 75 m.m. gun that we had mounted on one of the half-tracks. We tore out of there just as fact as we had come & left the N.G. holding the bag---& the city. Copy of Jack's letter on "How We Organized a town."
