Enjoys Army Life at Eastern Camp Fort Ethan Allen
In a November 1917 letter from Fort Ethan Allen Vermont a soldier describes a busy training post amid winter buildup. New cavalry units were redesignated and sent to Mississippi, the Rainbow Division drew away most guards, and the post may become a base hospital for wounded from France. Cold weather tests discipline, with temperatures dipping to 40 degrees below zero and snow delaying travel. Soldiers bundle in heavy wool gear and endure limited drilling, mainly horsemanship, while hunting offers brief relief as deer season closes after a 10 day run.
