unnecessary amount of standing
around in platoons, which is rather
trying. While standing, a good way
of easing the load is..to place muzzle

You have only then to keep the pack
balanced. At last we get the word
and start off. One's sensations and
forms of mild torture experienced are
so varied that. I'll describe them to
you.

but soon the left starts, to keep com-

anywhere el!ie.
Then you slip a hand behind you
and underneath the pack, raising it
and shifting the weight to your arra.
This isa great relief, but only mo-
mentary as the strain on the arm is
too great, and one lets the pack down

along, and through your mind runs
the thought: "He is carrying the
same load, full of that sante pain. If
he can keep up, I can," and still your
legs monotonously forge ahead. I
can't explain it, but you area in a
state of semi -consciousness like one
walking in his sleep. Then you try
to think of something pleasant. In
my case I try to picture myself at
home, and you may not believe it,
but it helps a lot. Some chaps have
fallen out, but you plod along. To fall
out means the extra exertion of step-
ping out of the hanks; your legs do
not seem capable of changing direc-
tion so you stay in your place praying
for the welcome words of command:
"Fall out"!
Perhaps one chap with a little more
"pep" left in him informs us that we
have ten minutes to go before the
rest period. That ten minutes mag-
nifies itself into an eternity of time,
in your mind, but' here's where the
old thought of 'nine so often comes
in: "There's an end to all things,
and so will be to this march."
When the time is up you stagger
out to the' right and let yourself
down, lying so that the pack forms
a back rest and also so that the
weight is all taken off your back and
shoulders. Then for a moment the
sudden flow of blood sends sharp,
shooting pains around the .eords of
the neck, but that is over and oh the
blessed relief then. In a moment: you
feel fit enough to reach for a cigar-
ette. A drink would taste all right,
but .it -is net wise, as you have an-
other walk ahead of you, to take one.

Such was the appearance of a British
tank that a writer in 1110 Cornhill

its wake a line of men followed to

chocked and steadied, itself with its
nose poised over a deep hale, halted
and backed away, and edged nervous-
ly round the rine of the hole., It
reached the barbed -wife entangle-
