Letters of Lt.-Col. George Brenton Laurie
Excerpt from the book: "Yesterday, for instance, I was up at 5 o'clock, and afteran hour's parade, shivering in the dark, I then went off to another, and got back about 1 o'clock. I was instructing my men in thedifference between English and French distances--_i. E. _, what 600yards looked like in this country for rifle ranges, and where an enemywas likely to hide, etc. In the middle of this the Brigade Majordashed up in despair, as some order of his had gone astray. I waswanted to take ten officers at once and to jump into a motor lorry, and go with a party of 30 others to the trenches. I popped my tenofficers in, and went off with the Brigade-Major's greatcoat in myhurry! We raced our lorry through country looking just like the RomneyMarshes, Sussex".
