The editor himself is always one of the
regiment. The other members of his
staff who assist in the getting out of
the unique publication, such as the sub
editor. the war correspondent, the art
lists, the printers, and even the pro-

found in the ranks.
For the most part these newspapers
are printed on the regimental press,
which usually accompanies the regi-

times a war extra" Other papers,
again, are always published at home in
England, no matter where the regiment
may be.
The worries that beset the editor of
the regimental sheet published at the
front can well be imagined. Sometimes
his editions are punctuated with bullets,
and often the entire editorial sanctum
has to be taken up and moved 40 or so
miles off before the last part Of an edi-
ton can be struck off. There is not, as
rule, any difficulty in getting copy,
as nearly every Tommy Atkins who has
seen a bit of service is always ready to
