Though a sacrifice, it has to be done, as going indoors is decidedly preventive of good military manoeuvres. We want to stay outdoors as long as we possibly can; it is the same and sensible though uncomfortable solution. We have started this drill and we will carry it through, ralic or shine, warm or cold.
