Excerpt from A Regimental Surgeon in War and Prison

These recollections of the fighting in France from August to November, 19i4, do not pretend, in any way, to be an authentic his tory of the Campaign. They are merely the record of the work and wanderings of a regimental medical Officer in part Of the Retreat, the Advance, at the Marne, the Aisne, and the fighting at and near La Bassee. There they come to an abrupt conclusion, for, in the grey dawn of a foggy October morning, I was taken prisoner and, with my wounded, my orderlies and stretcher bearers, conducted through our long and eventful pilgrimage into Germany. From the moment the miracle Of the Marne occurred we had little doubt that nothing would stop our victorious progress to the Rhine. Little did I think that the invasion of Germany, on my part, would take place in so igno minious a fashion. When I say that the regiment to which I had the honour of being attached was the 2nd Battalion the King's Own Scottish Borderers of the 13th Brigade.
