Squad leaders are responsible that surplus kit bags are kept in order and fully packed in the field. Men are allowed access to them for the purpose of making substitutions. The surplus kits are packed in surplus kit bags, one for each squad, one for sergeants, and one for cooks and buglers.
Not low wages will ever make men harmless, nor high wages make them happy, nor low nor high save them from a spirit of pauperism or of malignant envy; but having wages bigger than their bodily wants, and having spiritual wants numerous and elastic enough to use up the surplus spiritual wants, that know both how to suffer need and how to abound, and to do either without backsliding toward savagery.
Ireland, it is seen, can still spare 100,000 or 150,000 males for the British armed forces and be in no unhealthier sex plight than Scotland or England is in. It is to get this surplus of stout Irish brawn and muscle that Mr. Churchill and the British War Office are now touting in Ireland.

Next day he told me that the Tribunal had assigned me fifty sous per diem of which he would have to take charge, but that he would give me an account of his expenditure every month, and that he would spend the surplus on what I liked.
Some of the surplus was used outside to the south, into Central Africa, to the west into North Africa, to the north into Eastern Europe and Western Asia, inaugurating the second phase of Egyptian development.
Always after these confining lessons I was wild with surplus spirits, and found joyous relief in running loose in the open again.
