Image Description		Yearling summer training for Ernie's class was more intense than in previous years. In addition to drill and ceremonies shown in these pictures, they learned the skills needed of a ground soldier. When his son and grandson complained about how hard it was to stand at attention for a long period of time during a review parade, Ernie gave them the advice to "Search out a pretty girl in the stands and concentrate on her" The Howitzer included the following comment about that summer: "With not much of an interval to be become acclimated to the mode of living of a third classman, we learned that the world was becoming more involved in a war ended the customary free afternoons. Our days were taken up with close order drill, weapons or branch instruction, parades and inspections. Saturday morning meant review followed by inspection in ranks and in our tents. Saturday afternoons and Sundays were the times of rest which found us at hops, picnics, and Delafield Pond." These three pictures were captioned "Saturday Inspection In Ranks", "Morning Drill Formation" and "The Colors Lead Us Home"
