At all times they have earned the respect of their adversaries and good words of those who fought at their side. "With one exception, each objective has been gained, and that exception added yet fresh laurels for tenacity and re-, solution, in face of insuperable difficulties. "There, is no distinction between one unit and another, between one branch and another all alike, .including the Staff, have done their share in working for the common end, and together have earned a reputation of which their country is proud, ' "This is all to the good. Now a word as to the future. When fresh problems are in front of us, successes as real, if less dramatic, will surely be ours.
