would stretch over 2,250 miles of road!
nearly from Quebec to Rife! It goes home
to ones imagination that way, does'nt it?
Well, as I said, as private we dont know
much about what's going on, & at least not
any more than the section of the fighting
that we re actually engaged in. Only on
one or two rare occasions have we been
in such a position to be able to see any
extensive operations going on, it is an
interesting sight when you can. So the privates
lot is not a complicated one, he has only 3
things to do - obey order, use his common sense
where no orders can be given, & endure.
On the whole we have very intelligent officers
in our battalion & I think it is general throughout
the division (tho I'm sure, without predudice, we
are the best battalion in it <del>)</del> as far as Infantry
is concerned) But in spite of this one sees
many blunders & a good deal of confusion
going on at times which seems to prove that
some how we dont seem to have the genius
for military operations, at least not like
certain other nations, like France & Germany.
