A GENTLE HINT
The British soldier is never at a loss when sarcasm is needed, and an example of his readiness was seen only the other day.
A long route march had been in progress and the officer had been none too patient. Several times he had had occasion to speak strongly to the men. At last, on the march home, the order came, “March easy”—the time when songs are indulged in. There was no call for “Tipperary” this time, but unanimously they started singing, “Kind Words Can Never Die.”
