Excerpt from Doings of Battery B: Humorous Happenings and Striking Situations in the Experiences of Its Members
Contemplating the destruction of political power and the reversal of social conditions during the last four years, we are led to speculate on the chain of change which has marked the history of mankind since the planet on which we live reached its life-bearing epoch. The soldier, as he 'brooded over the war and the condition to which it had brought him, unconsciously put to himself the questions propounded by Redpath in his History of Mankind.
