Claire Scott and Henry Springer were elected as junior lieutenants. As Gelespie and Springer were too young to receive commissions, Scott and Barbour became se nior lieutenants, while the junior lieutenancies were given to Earl Moore and Alan Buskirk. The battery was mustered in in May, and they were well drilled by the early part of August, at which time they left Bloomington for Fort Benjamin Harrison, and then to Camp Mills on Long Island.
