I A young soldier returning wounded j from the front a few weeks ago was (says the "Times"), though ho had been in.command of a company, just a merry, ' laughing boy; hut as strong as a young j horse, and a thoughtful fellow, too, as 'the tribute he paid to the enemy showed.

The men—oh, the only trouble with our men was to get 'cm back long enough and to take any ordinary care of themselves. Me—l was 17 in August, 1914. I was in Gallipoii in May, 1015, and got to France in November, 1015; and been wounded in both places. It's a great game." "Live and learn."
