NOTE
This story was written during the spring og 1916, a few weeks after the author had left school, at the age of seventeen, to join the Army. It covers the period of September 1911 to July 1915. The book has been shortened by some 40 pages, but these cuts have not altered in any way the book’s general tone and temper.
