We hoped that every fighting-man in the country would in time become an expert signaller.

Beyond these, again, we have always a few priests.

The Church of the country is a militant Church; its priests are soldiers, its Bishops commanders.

But they all serve wherever the battle most needs them.

Naturally they, as men of brains, are quicker at learning than the average mountaineers; with the result that they learnt the code and the signalling almost by instinct.
