escorting troop. Sentries had been posted to
keep the throng at proper distance. but double

TALON after battalion. in heavy marching order,
in the dark blue service dress, with campaign hats
and eggings with ranks well closed and long well

came striding down the gentle SLOPE conscious

commanded. Armstrong. himself commander Of

approvingly.
