Part 17
“Not in sight of the Col di Lana, I am sorry to say,” was the reply. “My health broke down a fortnight before the end, and another officer was in command at the climax. It was one of the greatest disappointments of my life. I would have given my right hand to have been the first man into that crater. But never mind,” he concluded, rising and squaring his broad shoulders; “bigger things than the Col di Lana are ahead before this war is over, and I feel that I am not going to miss any more of them. It’s the Garibaldi way, you know, to be in at the death.”

BETWEEN THE LINES. New and Cheaper Edition. 2s. 6d. net.
“For a conspectus of daily routine within the limited area of first-line trenches we think Mr. Boyd Cable’s book the most fully informing we have read. If one cannot see the life of the trenches going on by reading this book, it must be that one cannot derive a true impression from any printed page. Will enable many people to read the newspapers with new eyes.”--_The Spectator._
