| Details |
"Yes, I know the road's rotten; but I'm sure this habit of Sec.-Lieut. Smith's of finding his way back to billets with his private repeating Verey pistol (that his aunt sent him) will lead to trouble."
A rather reckless officer encourages shell fire from the enemy in a bid to find his way through the dark somewhere on the Western Front.
