extend' to' the ';person; for there was I
no washing "facilities of any sort in
the "room, norof' on "the whole - that r
_
floor of the barracks;: nor on' the one

down four flights' of stairs to, a rude
and crude kind of lavatory on the

As theg arde-chambee saw no reas-
on to arouse himself more than a
quarter 'of an hour before he himself
was due, for parade, and then had to
fetch the co fee -pail before •arousing
the others, this was apt to be crowded
quarter of an hour of inglorious life.
So, with the conscientious fears of
the ignorant novice, at Least one re-
cruit endeavoured to have everything
right and ready before he went to bed,
and secretly determined to wake him-
self at half -past four the next morn-
ing, to make a good beginning.
Michael's bed was in the •corner by
the huge window, Boldini's was next,
Digby's next, and thenthat of an
Italian calling himself. Colonna. Mine
came' next, then Brandt's, then Buddy's
then Haff's, and then' Hank's—always
an old legionnaire next to a 'recruit,
and so on throughout the room.
Inthe corner by the door was the.
bed of Corporal Dupre,: who was in
command of the escouade and in
charge of the room.
He was an active, noisy, bustling
person, rr humorous and notunkindly
when selber; when overfull of canteen
wine he was sullen; suspicious, and
dangerous. Being overfond of
wine he was easily approachable by
anyone who chose to provide it—or
rather the means of purchasing it.
While vire three and the Americans
were gathered`iin a group, putting the
last touches to our kit and extracting
information and advice from Boldini,

as on the Eve of Waterloo, "there was

Ivliehael, Digby, and 1 rushed to th'e
far-off lavatory, clashed our heads in,
to water and fled, back, towelling.

I stared in astonishment.
"A couple of sous; comrade!" said.
Brandt, and I understood. An income
of a halfpenny a day is one that will
stand a good deal of .augmenting,
Turning to see if I could do any-
thing for ,Michael or 'Digby, I found
that Boldini and Colonna were before
me, each earning in a few minutes, as
a valet, what it took them two days
to' earn as a soldier).
r'
In a surprisingly short time, all,
were dressed and ready, the garde-
chambee had swept up the dust and
dirt that the men had brushed out
from under the beds, and Corporal
Dupre had been round to see that the
beds were properly made and every-
thing tidy.; Then following upon a
shout of "Garde a..vous," the Colour.
Sergeant of the Company entered and
inspected theroom and the men.

cold, morning '
The battalion marched away,.. to
fiel'd-exercises, and the recruits were
formed up, told `off by 'escouades, each
under a corporal, and taken out .to.
the "plateau," • a .vas.tdrill-ground .near
the village negre; for physical train-
ing, which to -day was simply steady
running. It was nothing much for
young :athletes like us.flute, but ; a
little cruel fer half starved or out -of -
condition men, who had not run for
some time.
On other mornings the physical cul-
ture took the form of gyennastics,:box-
ing, or a long route -march.
On our •eturn to barracks, wet and
warm, we had our. morning meal of
soupe and bread, and a gtiarter-litre
of good wine. Tin plates and gam
melles were rattled out on hanging
cupboards ,and we sat at the long
tables that occupied the centre of the
big room: There was . meat at well;.
as vegetables in my excellent stew,
and the bread; though grey, was pal-
atable, and more than sufficient ,in
quantity,
After a rest, the recruits had a lee:
ture, and after that, squad and com-
pany drill, while the battalion. did: at-
tack -formation exercise on the pla-
teau.
After this we were set to work
with brooms and•wheel=barrows at
tidying up around'the barracks, and
were then free to go to the lavabo to
wash and dry ouriewhite uniforms.]
At °five o'clock we got our, second-
meal, ,exactly like the first, and were
then ^finished for the. day,. save in so
far` as we had to prepare for the
rie:ct, in the way of cleaning and. ,pol-
ishing the leather and metal of our
arms and • equipment—no small task,
