Excerpt from The Ground-Swell We knew ourselves provincial, the Ameri can Army is, compared to the British in its garrisons all over the world, but we thought we were not unadaptable. We had packed and unpacked our modest possessions (plunder, as we call it in the army) in about every post where the old flag is raised. As a soldier's wife I was expected to fit my family's curves into the holes and corners of any house or hut the Government provided; it could not be said we were pampered. We had gathered some moss of sentiment in each place where We had been happy and we were happy in most places. But all along we had dreamed and talked of the home that some day should be permanent. There are certain kinds of moss it is useless to gather unless you have got somewhere to keep it; books we had never dared to buy because their weight eats up one's transporta tion allowance, and we never had dug our selves in very deep in the matter of gardens.
