When the advance guard (or whatever you call it of artillery--it's that for infantry, I know) came by, we got ready, and when the first man of the first battery was level with us Oswald played on his penny whistle the 'advance' and the 'charge'-- and then shouted-- 'Three cheers for the Queen and the British Army!' This time they had the guns with them.

And every man of the battery cheered too.

It was glorious.

It made you tremble all over.

The girls said it made them want to cry--but no boy would own to this, even if it were true.
