Found England a Farm
“We are settled down under canvas in .the loveliest spot in England,” was the comment of a second echelon unit soldier just after his arrival from New Zealand toward the end of June. “I have fallen hard for England,” he added. ‘We saw a lot of the country on the way to the camp—great cities with the towers and cathedrals, castles surrounded by parks, and farms everywhere. I have heard that England is a garden and Englishmen a nation of shopkeepers, and it amazed me to find that England was a farm.”
