This was general muster day, and we were reviewed this
afternoon by the commanding officer, General McArthur. The general says our
division is hard to beat, declaring that it would be difficult to find a
better-looking number of men armed for active service than the Sixth Division.
After the review we were mustered for pay. The weather is very warm and the
roads are dusty.
