"Who is the Happy Warrior?" The answer la Captain A. O. Pollard, V.C., late of the Honour- able Artillery Company.
In his memoirs, (Hutchinson and Co., London, 12s. 6d.), he as- aerts that he "enjoyed the war." It was his delight (writes a Military Correspondent) to Wan- der about "No Man's Land" at night, but the pleasure of the ad- venture was not comparable to "going over the top.
That was a nightmare to many, but not to Captain Pollard, for he atatea that It "atruck some chord
