A sergeant is given a wing of the battalion to play with for three weeks a month, or six weeks according to his capacity, and turned adrift in an Area to make his own arrangements. That's what Areas are for and to experiment in. A good gunner a private very often has all four company-guns to handle through a week's fight, acting for the time as the major.
It had just moved in to join its brigade, and we made a forty-two mile march in fourteen hours, and cut it off, lock, stock, and barrel. It went to ground like a badger I will say those Line regiments can dig but we got out privily by night and broke up the only road it could expect to get its baggage and company-guns along. "Who's an A.C.?" I asked.
Our A.C. came, saw our dispositions, and said it was a sanguinary massacre for the Line, and that we were entitled to our full pound of flesh head-money for one whole regiment, with equipment, four company-guns, and all kit! At Line rates this worked out as one fat cheque for two hundred and fifty. Not bad!"
