Tuttle relates his experiences: r HTy family had a 1 it j I sheep camp in Col-U Col-U Vl lorado, and when I came home from my LDS mission, I worked out there for a while. Then a letter came from the President of the United States: "You are hereby requested to report to Fort Riley, Kansas, to join the cavalry." The Japanese were coming down through the hills in Burma, Bur-ma, but the Allies couldn't get their mechanized equipment up through the hills, so horses were to be brought over as pack animals to take troops into the hills. Basic training was fun, because be-cause I had such a good horse. All the recruits went into a corral of horses and were told, "Pick out your horse." I got hold of a big buckskin, and oh, he was beautiful I fell in love with him, and he would do everything for me jump, trot and so oa I shined his hoofs and got him to looking very neat. I won a lot of cups and ribbons with him in basic training. I don't know why I was put in the cavalry. Only three of us in the unit had been on horses before. I think most of the guys were chosen because they hadn't had any horse training (we'd had a string of horses up to our sheep camp). It was easier to train the guys without knowledge of horses, because the cowboy would turn back to his old ways. The Army saddle has a groove in the center, where it is kind of split in two. So there's a hollow space down the back of the horse, and two pads on each side, where you ride. The Army claimed that men could ride farther, and get along better, in that saddle than in the cowboy saddle. When training finished, my horse and I were separated. I hated to see him go, but we parted ways. I still remember him as the world's best. We spent sometime at Fort Pendleton, then sailed out of San Pedro Harbor. There were three shiploads of soldiers and one shipload of horses. The four ships traveled together. Sixty men were assigned to the ship with horses, to take care of them.

RUNNINCtCREEKWAri LEHI cavalry Editor's note: This is the first in a two-part series about Wayne Tut tie of Orem, who served in the rines, we went up around the Aleutian Islands, then down by Australia, and finally into the China Sea, headed for Bombay, India. The trip took 132 days and I was seasick everyday. And others were sick. We liked to sit out on the deck of the ship and watch the flying fish. But if someone came who going to throw up, the crowd of men just parted a trail to the rail for them. We were doing fine in the China Sea when we were told that something was happening, happen-ing, but we weren't told what it was, only that we were to go down into the hold of the ship. When we later landed at Bombay, we talked to some of the boys who had been on the ship with the horses. That ship had been torpedoed, and the boys had to get on life rafts. Some horses swam up through the hatches and tried to get up on the rafts. The boys had to use their .45 and shoot the horses between the eyes. Otherwise, the horses would have capsized the rafts. That was a miserable job. AD the horses drowned, and that was the Last we saw of them. We were shipped in old railroad cattle cars all the way across India. Everyplace we stopped, the Indians begged for food, but we were told not to feed them, and we made a lot of stops along the way. Once in a while, we'd steal a little food and feed the poor beggars but it was sad. Next week: Wayne Tuttle becomes an infantryman, because be-cause there were no horses.
