Description
Excerpt from From the Trenches: Louvain to the Aisne, the First Record of an Eye-Witness
To have to wait a day in a queue to obtain a permit to leave, another to secure a ticket, and even a third to confirm it by getting a definite seat on a numbered train, can dis courage the most patient. The miracle of deliverance, however, took place; and it was brought about by the agency of a chance meeting with a genial chauffeur. There followed an introduction to his employers, a party of Belgian officers returning to their own army, and an amiable invitation to evade some of the weari ness of the irregular train journey by taking a lift.
