"_They were real good sorts. They would never go back on a pal._" One Young Man on Trek CHAPTER IX ONE YOUNG MAN ON TREK It was on August Bank Holiday Monday that Sydney Baxter's battalion made its long journey south. He writes: "We were up at 2 o'clock that morning, and for two solid hours were loading up the trucks with our transport, G.S. waggons and limbers. It was real sport and we thoroughly enjoyed it. A long row of flat trucks was lined up, and as each limber drew up the horses were unharnessed and we ran the limber right along the whole line of trucks until all were filled. The work completed, we detailed for our trucks. Every trenchman knows those trucks neatly ticketed: 40 Hommes. |
