2nd Spasm Camp McClellan Retrospect
2nd Spasm Camp McClellan Retrospect


	Due to the utmost modesty on the part of the writer he conscientiously 
objects to adding to his most fluent story any particulars pertaining to his own 
efficiency in the grand and glorious uplift of our wondrous camp.

	Mr. S. F. Zimbal our humble writer has been a permanent and efficient 
factor in the noble work of making this a camp of the up most efficiency.  Mr. 
Zimbal gladdened the Camp with his presence some sixteen months ago and since 
that time has built for himself an alter of glory around which are woven many 
tales of intricacy in the way of ably assisting in the movement of troops in and 
out of the Camp.  Under the protecting wing of General Morton he was a personage 
to be relied upon when it came to any dispute as to how a thing should be done.  
The population of Anniston has long since come to know of Mr. Zimbal and his 
able cohorts of the Transportation Branch.  Mr. Zimbal was sent to this post 
from the War Department Office at Washington, D. C.  Now that the great crisis 
of the World War is with us and his great work has been so masterly and 
efficiently performed  Mr. Zimbal is now wrapped and ready to return to his 
former post of duty.  While we are all glad to see him be able to return to his 
wife and family we feel that a sad day is about to befall us when we shall lose 
this most efficient gentleman.  His ever lasting smile will be a permenant 
fixture in all our minds and we only can wish him as great a success in the days 
to come as he has had in the building of one of the greatest camps in the 
country.
