There was talk, for a time, of sending a surgeon to the little house, but it came to nothing. La Panne was not far away, and all the surgeons they could get there were not too many. So the little house went on much as before. Henri had moved to the mill.
But never in all that time did I overcome the sense of unreality, and always I was obsessed by the injustice, the wanton waste and cost and injustice of it all. The baby at La Panne why should it go through life on stumps instead of legs? The boyish officer why should he have died?
As I sat in the simple office of the Palace and talked with this shy, tall, blonde, and really kingly-looking person, I could not help thinking of the last time I saw him. It was at La Panne during that terrible winter of 1916-1917, when the Germans were at the high tide of their success.
The things you will have to do for me, and all the pretty things I shall see and have, are a great pleasure to think about! Yours truly, S. MACNAUGHTAN. Villa les Chrysanthèmes, La Panne. I have been to London for a few days to see about the publication of my little war book. I got frightful neuralgia there, and find that as soon as I begin to rest I get ill.

All told, between Calais and La Panne it was inspected texture, weight and reading matter, front and reverse sides, upside down and under glass by some several hundred sentries, officials and petty highwaymen. It suffered everything but attack by bayonet.

Out of our fifty men now learning shoemaking, twenty-nine were once sturdy farm laborers. The profession is not fatiguing and, in spite of our fears, not one of our leg-amputated men has given up his apprenticeship on account of fatigue or physical inability."
