He became a major; and he became a colonel; and, during the Battle of the Somme, in 1916, he became a Brigadier-General, succeeding Brigadier-General Edwards in command of the 164th Brigade. And he remained in command of that famous Brigade until the end of the war.

It was the town's one metropolitan charm. There was a lithograph here that reached out and caught her like a bale-hook.
