LIFE OF A SOLDIER
nv ACTIVE SERVICE
Not Entirely Composed of Fighting or
Sitting in Trenches-Has Many
Odd Jobs to Perform.

Behind British Lines in France, July
20 Correspondence of the Associated
Press Life on active service is not en-
tirely composed, as some people are in
clined to imagine, of fighting, of sitting
in trenches, of resting in billets, of
marching, eating and sleeping. 1t is true
that the main activities of the soldier
are comprised in the above list, but there
are countless other duties which he is
called upon to perform-duties which
might best be called "odd jobs" and
some of which are distinctly odd
The days of camp followers, who used
to perform the more mental tasks of the
battle zone, are gone never to return.
The soldier must now be his own newer
of wood and drawer of water. He must
attend himself to all the little details of
life, the cleaning of his quarters, the dig
gipg of trenches, the carrying Of his food.
Broken trenches must be mended, fresh
trenches dug and dugouts built All
these odd jobs, which the soldier is called
upon to do in what would otherwise be
his spare time, he sums up under the
comprehensive heading of fatigue"
Fatigue duty, as the name implies, is
not often light or restful form of oc
cupation. 1t may involve long march
with nights work at the end Of it,
The first men to be picked for a
fatigle party are the defaulters, men
guilty of minor delinquencies, such as
the possession Of rusty rifle or an I'M
shaven chin at the morning parade. 1t
follows that the term fatigue" has fall
en- somewhat into disrepute, for it has
come to be associated, at least in the
civilian mind, with an idea Of punish
ment. In consequence, an attempt has
been made to differentiate between extra
work which is definitely allotted as a
form of punishment, and extra work
which is included in the duties of every
soldier, be his character never SO stain
less. For this purpose a new phrase
has been introduced. This new phrase
is working party" Men are selected
for working parties in turn, so that
everyone contributes a share.
So far as possible, working parties
are employed on essentially military OPP
erations, such as the putting up Of wire
entanglements, the digging of trenches,
the carrying of rations and stores, where
as a. fatigue party is likely to be en-
ployed on more mental forms OF occupa-
ton.
But it is difficult to change old names,
and though the distinction between a
fatigue party and working party is
carefully observed in official orders, the
British soldier himself is still inclined to
apply the old name fatigue" indiscrim-
inately to all forms of extra work.
In the main, it is the unfortunate in
fantryman who is called upon to supply
working parties. The engineers, for ex-
ample, depend to a great extent on in
fantry labor for the carrying out of
their various operations.
