You must come in to the Colonel and be identified." This was a turning of the tables with a vengeance, and as I had recently laid stress on its being the duty of every officer to prove his identity whenever called upon, I had nothing to do but to go back into the presence of the Colonel and be questioned.
I noticed this time that a full bottle of whiskey and another tumbler had been provided for the entertainment of the Indian Officer.

The despatch rider saluted the Colonel and said, "I have brought in this officer, Sir, to be identified.

He says he is a Canadian chaplain but I should like to make sure on the point." I stood there feeling rather disconcerted.

The Colonel called to his adjutant who was sleeping in a bed in the next room.

He came out in a not very agreeable frame of mind and began to ask me who I was.
