THE INFANTRY OT in one battle nor in one campaign, not in one war nor even in one century. did the Infantry win the crown of the Queen of Battles. lfnthroned twenty-live hundred years ago, the lnfan- try's royal place through the succeeding ages has become more surely fixed until with the close of the Nvorld Xvar there is none successfully to dispute the preference. Only by blood and sweat, privation and hard- ship, only by perseverance and hardihood, by sheer heart and soul has its position been won.

There is a peculiar impression of irresistible power given by great bodies of marching men. There is no man with soul so sodden that he does not thrill at the steady beat of the Infantry march nor feel the tre- mendous latent power that lies within.
