Amid the scores of human wrecks littering the Bed Cross camp one man attracted my especial notice — a young Servian soldier. He lay at full length on a stretcher, and sometimes raised himself to a half-sitting posture, but soon fell back again exhausted by the effort. Both his legs had been shattered by shrapnel below the knees, a blanket concealed them, mercifully he did not know the worst. The surgeon whispered that it was a hopeless case, gangrene was far advanced, the long, well-coupled leg...s were doomed, only by amputation could his life be saved. He thanked me for some cigarettes and smiled a boyish smile, showing a row of splendid teeth. His uniform was caked with mud and hung in rags, the muscles rippled on his arms and chest, which, though unwashed, were clean, nature had kept them so. The war had been a great event for him, he quite ignored its tragic side, and talked of battles and a charge, of how he'd killed a Turk, and then he added : " In a few months I will be well again and fit to fight the Austrians.
