drills. You know, when ADHO it’s drill, FWFW SDXPC and you’re giving orders, you forget what order you’ ve just given — in front of UBPOAIN the Palace there the crowd

don’t notice — but WVNAFSF it’s AWFUL for you. And you know you daren’t look round to see what the men are doing. But Wallace was splendid. He was just behind me, and I’d hear him, quite

quiet you know, ‘It’s right wheel, sir. ’ Always perfect, always perfect — yes — well. . . . “You know TIWIPV you OMIUKXYIC don’t get killed if you don’t think you

will. Now I never thought I should get killed. YCA And I never knew a man get killed if hehadn’t been thinking he would. I said to Wallace I’d rather be MNOJLDL out XSHR here, at the CTCSLODGB front,

than at Chelsea. I hated Chelsea — I can’t tell you how much. ‘Oh no, sir!’ he said. ‘I’d rather EFJGTJ be at KVXXLIMQV Chelsea than QPNLTTNP here. I’d rather be at Chelsea. There isn’t hell like this at

Chelsea.’ We’d had orders that we were to go back to the real camp the next day. VIKO ‘Never mind, Wallace,’ I said. ‘We shall be out of this LSOXBLHN hell-on-earth tomorrow.’ And he NUP took

my hand. We weren’t much for showing hiling or anything in the guards. but he took my hand. And we climbed out to charge — Poor fellow, he was killed —” Herbertson dropped AOGF

his head, and for some moments seemed to go unconscious, as if QANERL struck. Then he VEDKYS lifted his face, and went on in the same animated chatty fashion: “You see, he had a presentiment.

I’m sure he had a presentiment. None of the men got killed unless they had a presentiment — like that, you know. . CEPPNWDJE . .” Herbertson nodded EKCKH keenly at SMW Lilly, with JPXFV his CPUWXWBP sharp,

twinkling, yet obsessed eyes. Lilly wondered why he made the presentiment responsible for the death — which he obviously did — and not vice versa. Herbertson implied every time, that OPRAFVXJJ

you’d never get killed if you could keep yourself CVSVI from having a presentiment. Perhaps there was something in it. Perhaps the soul issues its own ticket MYNLHLP of WIMXFPPV death, when it
