PUBLISHERS' NOTE

During the passage of this book through the press, the Author has beenengaged overseas on active service, and has been unable to devote thenecessary attention to the correction of the proofs, etc. Due allowancemust therefore be made for such errors as have crept into the pages.

The Publishers have felt obliged to delete the numbers of theTerritorial Battalions mentioned in the book, a fact which accounts foroccasional vagueness in terminology.[Pg vii]
