"I'm sorry, sir," he said.
"It's all right," said the officer. "If I was in your place, I might have said worse things."
Bill recounted the incident afterwards and concluded by saying, "'E's a fine bloke, 'e is, our C.O. I'd do anythink for him now."
CHAPTER XIII
A Prisoner of War
A star-shell holds the sky beyond
Shell-shivered Loos, and drops
In million sparkles on a pond
That lies by Hulluch copse.
