The late Major James Elmslie, writing to friends at Waverley before his dejijPvsaid: "1 Bhould not wonder if before {big reaches you a great victory is recorded in this quarter of the globe, but the present force is inadequate. 1 don't understand how the young bloods around Waverley are able to stay at home, hunting and footballing, when there is a game like this od. I don't believe" ydu conld find one of these fellows. who would go back home now if they had a chance, and some almost cry when they have to go to hospital sick. We are close up to full strength again, thanks to arrival. of '2nd Reinforcements. Words can't express my pride in the boys with me. There is nothing exaggerated in the press reports about the 'morale' of this force. There is absolutely no grumbling nor complaining, no matter what the job is in hand, and some of the jobs are awful. We read about the Tommies in France joking through everything, and it is' just the same here. In all th» regiment, since we came here, there has not been one case for the commanding officer, not one infringement of the rules, ad never any rows among the boyß themselves. When volunteers are called for, for any special work, oearlv every man comes forward.
