' Andso saying, he put in spurs and rode away. CHAPTER X Here we are, fifteen months later, with Balaclava and Inkerman behindus, and the world ringing with the story of our valour; and somethinghere and there being said about the staring incapacity of our commandersand the crass dishonesty and stupidity of our contractors. The armywhich left home in such bright array is transformed to a crowd of raggedvagabonds, and all the services are mixed together in the trenches andthe camps before Sevast...opol. Here are men of the Horse Artillery whosebatteries have lost their horses; and here are cavalrymen dismounted, whether by reason of warlike misadventure or the sheer starvationof horseflesh. And since folks must do something for their breadin campaigning times, as at more peaceful seasons, the rules andregulations of special branches of the military service are cast aside, and men of every arm are working in the trenches together. A crowd ofvagabonds we are to look at, to be sure; but a year of war, if you onlythink of it, makes a boy a veteran, and the bronzed, weatherbeaten, andragged lads of whom the army is in the main composed, have lived inan atmosphere of powder for a year past; have gone marching andcounter-marching under shot and shell; and charging, and repellingcharges, until the imminent peril of their lives is a great deal morefamiliar to them than their daily bread.
