Excerpt from With Paget's Horse to the Front It is the 12th of August. The date takes me to the Temple, and to the academic quiet of King's Bench Walk, already thinned before the Courts rise for the Long, Vacation. It takes me to Euston, to King's Cross, among a throng of tweed suits and travel ling gowns, and the moors with their rich heather replace for a moment the dreary monotony of the veldt. We shall have church parade in a few minutes, and the strange spectacle of armed men invoking the blessing of the Prince of Peace.
