And it's going to be the real thing

The Sergeant-Major has already

already told off in tours. Now, in a
long column, we are marching across
the barrack-yard, for this very day
we are ordered to doff our civilian
dress and don our new kit. This very
day we have got to become soldiers.
Things are moving apace with us

the end can only be settled by Force.
And if it has to be, better it should
be today than tomorrow"
We are mercenaries no longer
those hirelings for murder, who once
sold their blood for money down to
all and sundry. We are gladiators
no longer-slaves who, enact the
drama of dying as an exciting spec
tacle for the entertainment of the
rich, and for the lust of their eyes.
It is to our native land we took our
oath. And if it must be, we are re-
solved to die as citizens, to die in the
full consciousness and full response

What will the next few days have
in store for us?
Not one of us has probably ever,
with his own eyes, seen field of bat
tie. But we have heard about it from
others, and we have read in books of
other men what a battlefield looked
like in 1901, and, as though with
our own eyes, we have watched the
shells SCATTERING human bodies. And
another thing we know is that forty
years ago in spite of inferior guns
and rifles, over hundred and tWen-
ty thousand dead stayed behind on
the field of honor. What percentage
of living will modern warfare claim?
Armies are being marshalled faster
than the world has ever seen. Ger
many alone can put six million SOL
diers in the field; France as many.

more than a Iong-draWn affair of out
posts! My brain reels when | try to

choke for breath.
Then are we a breed of men other
