The General Officer Commanding, as he appears to:
(1) His Chief of Staff.—The one insuperable obstacle to tactical triumphs such as Cæsar and Napoleon never knew.
(2) His youngest A.D.C.—A perpetual fountain of unsterilized language.
(3) Certain Subalterns.—The greatest man on earth.
(4) Tommy Atkins.—A benevolent old buffer in scarlet and gold who periodically takes an inexplicable interest in Tommy's belt and brass buttons. An excuse for his sergeant's making him present arms.
(5) The British Public.—A name in the newspapers.
(6) Himself.—(a) Before dinner: An unfortunate, overworked and ill-used old man. (b) After dinner: England's hope and Sir William Robertson's right hand.
(7) His Wife.—A very lovable, but helpless, baby.
