Excerpt from The Way They Have in the Army
In this little volume I have endeavoured to convey to the public in general, and, in particular, to that public which consists of the fathers and mothers, and sisters and brothers, and sweethearts and wives of our gallant soldiers, a faithful representation of the life, customs, duties, etc., of our brave heroes in khaki.
The work is not an exhaustive encyclop?dia on matters military; it simply deals with the inside, the human side of soldiering the side in which those with near ones and dear ones with the Colours are, naturally, most interested.
True, a goodly amount of information is furnished on a variety of martial subjects, but, I think, not more than is necessary to provide my readers with a knowledge, a conversational knowledge, of the "Way they have in the Army."
