I came to a hut and asked for a hot drink; saying I had no mon- ey, but I vdas refused. ;Farther along 1 came to a hut and, on coining near 1 saw by the sign over the doer that it was the Salvation Army Hostel. They gave me food and drink in plenty and helped me on my way, saying, 'I was as welcome to it without inoney and price as I was to the love ofl God,' I'm off back to the front to -m rrow, and imeakx to stay in the Army Hostel to -night.
