My arrangements for entering the fly- ing corps had been disturbed, and here I wae, an ordinary private, car- rying a@ rifle and a pack weighing ninety-six pounds, We marched for alx days, ten houre a day, for forty minutes at a stretch, with five-min- ute rests, At last we reached « little town which, they told us, was three miles from the trenches.
