3/19 "Hunchie" was a wonder, so was Madame, and so was their dog "Black." One spot in Paris, the Gare du Nord, will always mean a lot to the British Army on the Western Front. What sights one saw there!--masses of humanity, mostly British officers and men, each with their little (p. 056) "movement order": there they were in the heart of the Gay City. Yet that little slip of paper would, in a couple of hours, send them to Amiens, and a little later they would be at the front suffering Hell. It gave the whole tragedy of the place--the blackness, smoke, smell and crush. |
