That fortnight must be to many of us of how ironic, of how tragic a tranquillity! So we settled down and did our best to become happily accustomed to one another.

Our own immediate company numbered twenty or so--Molozov, two doctors, myself, Trenchard and Andrey Vassilievitch, the two new Sisters and the three former ones, five or six young Russians, gentlemen of ease and leisure who had had some "bandaging" practice at the Petrograd hospitals, and three very young medical students, directly attached to our two doctors.

In addition to these there were the doctors, Sisters and students belonging to the army itself--the Sixty-Fifth Division of the Ninth Army.

These sometimes lived with us and sometimes by themselves; they had at their head Colonel Oblonsky, a military doctor of much experience and wide knowledge.

There were also the regular sanitars, some thirty or forty, men who were often by profession schoolmasters or small merchants, of a better class for the most part than the ordinary soldier.
It is not, of course, my intention to describe with any detail the individuals of this company.
