Read the following passage and answer the questions below.
On a morning early in August, 1915, the Brigade disembarked at Havre without mishap to
man, horse, or material, and proceeded to a Rest Camp on the outskirts of the town. We
were in France at last! The same evening the Batteries started to entrain, and every two
hours a complete unit was despatched up the line—to an unknown destination. The men
received refreshments at various Halts, and the horses were duly watered and fed, but the
journey was, on the whole, long and tedious. On one occasion only was the monotony
broken, and that unwittingly, by the humour of one of the officers. In the course of the
evening, the train stopped at a small station, and the compartment in which the officers were
settled drew up in front of the Buffet. Some one asked where we were, and a subaltern,
anxious to display his newlyacquired
knowledge of French, replied, "Bouvette," which
called forth no response. Shortly afterwards the train proceeded on its way, and the
occupants of the carriage settled themselves down to sleep. All passed quietly for the next
couple of hours—then the train stopped once more, and, as luck would have it, again our
carriage came to a standstill directly opposite the buffet of the station. At once a question
was asked as to our whereabouts. The same subaltern, shaking himself out of a deep
slumber, stretched, roused himself, and, peering out of the window, exclaimed, "Good Lord',
still at this beastly hole, 'Bouvette'!" He expressed much surprise at the "unseemly mirth," as
he described it, which followed!!
After detraining, the Battery marched through beautiful country, which reminded one of the
Borders, as it was not unlike the valley of the Tweed, and we were at once taken to the
hearts of the inhabitants of the good village of Seningham, which place was destined to be
our home for the next few days. The officers were afforded spacious accommodation in the
house of the Maire, whilst the men had comfortable billets in the neighbourhood. Time was
spent making our unit shipshape after its travels by land and sea, and the "hairies" obtained
as much grazing as possible, to make them fit for what was in store for them. It was
wonderful how quickly the men adapted themselves to French ways, and much amusement
was caused by their eager, if somewhat unsuccessful, attempts to master the language of
our Allies.
When it became known that the officers were anxious to increase their knowledge of the
language of the country, the maidens of the village vied with one another to obtain posts as
instructresses, and there was nearly a free fight amongst them for the possession of our
worthy Senior Subaltern, whose taking ways did not fail to catch their attention!
But, alas! our peaceful warfare was not to be for long! One morning sudden orders came
through to prepare for the line in a couple of days' time. All was instant bustle, extra
grooming was given to the horses, and finishing touches were put to the howitzers and
vehicles. We were to be given a trial in action to show how we would comport ourselves
before joining the "Feet" of our own Division, the Guards, who at that time were out at rest.
For this purpose we were to be placed under the orders of the C.R.A. of an Indian Division,
to reinforce the Batteries already in positions and receive instruction from them.
At last the morning arrived to move off, the column, skirting the town of St. Omer, took the
main road to Hazebrouck, and, as we passed through the village of Arques, we caught a first
glimpse of our future infantry. They appeared equally keen on seeing their new artillery, and
inspected us with a critical eye. The march was made in easy stages, and on the morning of
the third day the Brigade arrived at Merville, a quaint old town in Flemish Flanders. After a
hasty lunch, the officers rode ahead, in order to get into touch with the unit we were to
support in the line, and another amusing incident happened en route. One of the Junior
Officers owned a sturdy mare, whose reputation as a charger was apt to be ridiculed by his
companions, as she was notorious for her slow gait. When the party had proceeded some
distance at the trot, "Halting Hilda" was observed, to the astonishment of everyone, to be
gradually taking the lead. This fact called forth the remark from her master, "By Jove, she is
pulling extraordinarily hard today: what can be the matter with the animal?" It was then
discovered that the rider had been at her mercy for the last couple of miles, the bit clanking
merrily from side to side under her great jaw. In the hurry and excitement of departure, after
lunch! the bit had not been replaced in her mouth!
