For a week l travelled the British
front with a grizz1ed major Of High
land regiment, who had been in the
game since 1914. We lunched one day
with mingled group of field and in
telligence officers, Belgian on liaison
work, and visiting French captain.
The talk, which was chiefly upon spe-
cialties beyond the range of war, made
one fact evident-the world of civilian
hfe was more interesting than ever
before to these men. They were pas
sionately DESTROYS to get back, to
"clean up the mess" there, to 60 on
with their broken careers.
"HOw do you stay so keen on your
job here" I asked the major, after
ward, "when you are more weary Of
war than they are at homer"
He flushed little, British fashion.
Have to clean up this mess. first" he
answered.
