Inf., 1-2." That is, he belonged to the Second Squad of the First Detachment.
Where Wirz got his, preposterous idea of organization from has always been a mystery to me.

It was awkward in every way--in drawing rations, counting, dividing into messes, etc.
Wirz was not long in giving us a taste of his quality.

The next morning after his first appearance he came in when roll-call was sounded, and ordered all the squads and detachments to form, and remain standing in ranks until all were counted.

Any soldier will say that there is no duty more annoying and difficult than standing still in ranks for any considerable length of time, especially when there is nothing to do or to engage the attention.

It took Wirz between two and three hours to count the whole camp, and by that time we of the first detachments were almost all out of ranks.
