Three thousand of him may be seen any day at the recreation tent which the Salvation Army maintains at Colchester, devouring some twenty-five dozen pork pies, having a look at the magazines and newspapers, Wwriting letters home, and occasionally participating in some religious service.

The Colchester camp is only one .of many where the Salvationists maintain these popular recreation tents for the volunteers. An appre- clation of the work is instanced at Cambridge, where Adjutant and Mrs. Windiate of the Salvation Army served the soldiers so faithful- Iy that the colonel in command pre- sented his dress sword to Adjutant Windiate.
