It was a soldier who shared his food and wine on the fourteen-hour trip from Paris to Dieppe four hours in peace days, fourteen hours in mobilization. It was a soldier who left the car and found out the change of train and the hour always a soldier who did the helpful thing. It did not require war to create their quality of friendliness and unselfish courtesy.
The old fourteen-hour trip to Hull often takes us forty now. Every passage is different, too. It isn't only on the sea that the Germans try to bother us; they also keep after us when we are in port here.
