HODDER AND STOUGHTON LONDON NEW YORK TORONTO1918 PrinU,i in Grtai Britain by Hatell, Wation & Viney, Ld.,London and AyUsbury. CHAPTER I It was the mud, I think, that made me taketo flying. I had fully expected that goinginto battle would mean for me the saddle ofa galloping charger, instead of the snug littlecock-pit of a modern aeroplane. The mud,on a certain day in July 1915, changed mywhole career in the war. We were in England. I had gone overas an officer of the Missisauga Horse, ofToronto, a cavalry detachment of the SecondCanadian Division. It had rained for daysin torrents, and there was still a drizzlecoming down as I set out for a tour of thehorse-lines. Ordinary mud is bad enough, when youhave to make your home in it, but the par-ticular brand of mud that infests a cavalrycamp has a meanness all its own. Everythingwas dank, and slimy, and boggy.
