had poisoned people's minds at home. But they were not merej driven animals forced to the sham- bles. They hated it all in its worst aspects, but they had a pride in their battalion and division, a sense of loyalty, a refusal to surrender to funk (unless their nerve broke), a humorous disregard of all abomina- tions. Many of the officers--as ́ I did-became disillusioned, bitter, and secretly despairing as the war and the slaughter went on, but there were others who kept their first faith in the ideals for which they had joined up, and had no doubts, as to their way of sacrifice for Eng- land's sake.

General Crozier and others ignore this spiritual exaltation which in- spired so many of our young officers and men, especially in the early days. It was not all booze and "ffee love," as he describes it sol often.

Those things when, they happened-were rare and brief episodes in long stretches of time! and in the geography of war, where! it was impossible for officers and men to get access to them. It is only in the "Mories", and the "Talkies" that young ladies in silk stockings throw their arms about the necks of amorous soldiers in tin hats a few yards away, or a few minutes away from the storm of battle or a German counter at.
