Q. How long were you out?
A. Over four years.
Q. What proportion of your company has seen service?
A. I don't know exactly now—we did represent one hundred and fifty-one years at one time in the company.
Q. Of actual service?
A. Yes; all the officers and non-commissioned officers, with one exception, were veterans.
Q. How many men were there in the company, when they represented one hundred and fifty-one years?
A. Sixty-seven men. Late on Saturday afternoon, I sent to the brigade commander, and asked permission to come and see him, and I waited, and asked if I could not have permission to drive the people away from the gate, that they were blackguarding us in the most scandalous manner.
