BUGLE ECHOES. 187
Bugle Echoes.
Sound the dear old bugle, hoys,
Ring out the calls once more,
Which thrilled our hearts and nerved our arms
In hallowed days of yore.
LETTERS FROM THE COMRADES.
S. B. Williams, of Dayton, Ohio, writes :
A MEMBER OK THE CAVALRY SOCIETY.
I really do not know how I come to subscribe for the Bugle. I am not a Maine
man, did not serve in any Maine Command. I was only a six months soldier and
served in Co. B, 4th Independent Battalion O. V. C, however 1 find many interesting

Annies of the U. vS. (of which I am a member) and publishes its annual proceedings
is an interesting feature to me.
Note:— ^'rhe4th Independent Battalion Ohio Vol. Cav. was transformed to the 13th
Ohio Cav. which regiment and the First Maine Cav. marched antl fought together in
the winter and spring of 1S65 and together resisted the final attack of Lee's Army
April 9th, 1865.
A KENNEBECKER.
Major A. P. Davis, nth Me. Inf. of Pittsburg, Pa., writes:
I have just received your February Circular regarding the Maine Bugle and hasten
to respond. I inclose Si.oo for your publicatit)n for 1894. I was born at Gardiner,
Kennel^ec Co. I have served in the U. S. Navy (prior to the late War) as well as in
the Army. I also commanded Co. F", Eleventh Maine and in the service was connected
with the Third and Thirteenth Maine Infantry. I have lived here nearly twenty-five
years and have been in the Fire Insurance business. Like many of us I am slipping
down the decline of life.
Note; —Major Davis was the founder of the Sons of Veterans.
WE feel as IK WE WERE ACQUAINTED.
Kendall Pollard, Co. K. 8th Me., of .Swampscott, Mass., writes :
The January numl)er of the Bugle came all right, and was gladly welcomed. It iloes
any one good to read what each comrade has to say; it creates a brotherly feeling to-
wards each other, we feel as if we were acquainted, whether we have seen them or not,
for it brings back many things which have been partly forgotten; we relive the past as
though it were but yesterday, and many comrades would pass from our memory forever,
did we not see and hear them in the Bugle. It should receive the support of all comrades,
whether in the Cavalry or Infantry, and especially those now in other states, who
