By this time a considerable number of people were crowded in the station, friends of the officers and comrades of the sailors, who looked enviously at those going forward, while they themselves might possibly not get a chance of doing so. A quarter of an hour later the officer said: "I am going to give the order to entrain. This is my compartment.
His Majesty stood at the window of the Royal Coach and waved farewells, and the second review by the King was over. I heard the men say how much they regretted that Her Majesty had not been there, for we enjoyed her first visit very much, and the interest she took in the soldiers. The frills are now all over and it is get ready to entrain and cross over to France.
He had the art of adapting himself perfectly to the society in which he moved, but in one thing he was always the same: wherever he went he carried his intense vitality that quality of entrain which persuades more than eloquence or earnestness.
When, on the 18th of February, the G.O.C. returned from a week's visit to France, and gave us a lecture upon the very latest things, we knew we might go at any time. Actually at noon on the 25th we got the order to entrain at Harlow at midnight, and the next morning we were on Southampton Docks. We left behind at Sawbridgeworth Captain R.S. Goward, now Lieut.

On the 26th of May, 1915, the order came out that we were to entrain the following morning we were all confined to barracks and every one was crazy with joy we hurried through our packing, then we sat around all night, singing, telling yarns, and trying to put in the time till morning.
Troops were moving through the streets of the city upon every hand some preparing to entrain for the west, and some for the east, where even now it was known that the great hordes of the Czar of all the Russias were approaching as fast as their vast numbers would permit. It was indeed a scene to delight a war-like eye, and it was not lost upon the two lads.
The draft was to entrain before daybreak on the morrow. It was a foolish, singing, shouting khaki throng. McPhail, who had borrowed ten pounds from Doggie, in order to see him through the hardships of the Front, established himself close by the bar and was drinking whisky.
Entrain them on the other side of the yard, and I will have the waggon attached to the train quietly as soon as you have got them in. The general is not likely to be down here till half an hour before the train starts, and it is certainly not probable that he will count the number of carriages."
