Nearly half the force had already started on the road to Almeida, and the supplies for their subsistence had been collected at that town. Therefore it was necessary that the main body of the infantry should travel by that road, while three thousand were to act as a guard for the artillery and cavalry on the other route.
I want you to be able and mark this point to sympathize with other times, to be able to understand the men and women of other countries, and to have the intense enjoyment an enjoyment which I am sure you would all appreciate of mental change of scene.
