FOREWORD
A feature of peace manoeuvres usedto be the "sham fight." In war thereare no sham fights. One has to deal then withstern realities, and to carry burdens whichseem to be quite beyond one's powers tosustain. Especially is this the case with thosein the position of leaders. In war, moreperhaps than in any other business, men feelthe need of something more than the mereknowledge of their profession, no matter howcomplete that knowledge may be.
I therefore commend this little book to allsoldiers, and more particularly to the youngerones, who desire to go into battle properlyprepared, for I am satisfied that definite andpractical religious convictions form anessential part of every soldier's equipment.
W. R. ROBERTSON.
