Présentation de l'éditeur
These sketches were originally written for the entertainment of soldiers. As a larger section of the general public now appears to be interested in warfare than was formerly the case, they are republished in a collected form in the hope that they may appeal to a somewhat wider circle. The authors thanks are due to the Editor of Blackwood s Magazine or permission to reprint all but one of the sketches; for permission to reprint this one the author is indebted to the Editor of Macmi UarCs Magazine. As some of the stories deal with matters in which there has been considerable development since the period at which the stories were written, the dates of their first appearance are given. The Kite was published in June, 1906, The Joint in the Harness in January, 1907, and An Eddy of War in A pril, 1907. The latter story was written in collaboration with the late C. V. OLE LUK-OIE.
