It was on the Loos front. One night a party of us were told off for
reconnoitring. On turning back about six of us, with our young officer,
missed our way and, after creeping about for some 15 minutes, a
message came down, "Keep very quiet, we are nearly in the German lines."
I passed on the message to the chap behind me, who answered in anything
but a whisper, "Thank 'eaven we know where we are at last."--_H. Hutton
