Most of the stretcher cases had been hurried away.

Only a few of the more seriously wounded remained.

As Barry turned away from the car, he saw the medical officer and sergeant major approaching him.
"A terrible business," said Barry, in a horror-stricken voice.

"Splendid chaps.

How plucky they are!" The M.O.made no reply, but coming close to Barry, he put his arm through his, the sergeant major taking him by the other arm.
"I say, Barry, old chap," said the M.O.in a grave voice, calling him for the first time by his first name.
