Along the dark roads, and down the leafy lanes, columns of men were marching, and brass bands played them through the dark- ness. Guns and gun-limbers moved forward at a sharp pace. "Lights out" rang the challenges of the sentries to the staff cars passing beyond the last village where any gleam was allowed, and nearer to the lines masses of men THE BATTLE OF MESSINES 193 lay sleeping or resting in the fields before getting orders to go forward into the battle zone. All through the night the sk...y was filled with vivid flashes of bursting shells and with steady hammer-strokes of guns, and from an observa- tion-post looking across the shoulder of Kemmel Hill, straight to Wytschaete and the Messines Ridge, I watched this bombardment and waited for that moment when it should rise into a mad fury of gun-fire before our men lying in these dark fields should stumble forward. During those hours of waiting in the soft warm air of the night I thought of all I had heard of the position in front of us.
