Bermondsey _versus_ Wurtemburg The trees grew thinner and thinner along the road, then ceased altogether, and suddenly we saw Albert in the wood of the ghosts of murdered trees, all grey and deserted. BURMONDSEY VERSUS VARTEMBERG THE TREES GREW THINNER AND THINNER ALONG THE ROAD THEN CEASED ALTOGETHER AND SUDDENLY WE SAW ALBERT IN THE WOOD OF THE GHOSTS OF MURDERED TREES ALL GREY AND DESERTED
g already some sword that you wore once, you can turn back to your memories or look with hope to the future with equal ease. The man that I met in Croisilles had none of these things at all. He had that one hope only. Do not, I pray you, by your voice or vote, or by any power or influence that you have, do anything to take away from this poor old Frenchman the only little hope he has left. The more trivial his odd hope appears to you compared with your own high hopes that come so easily to you amongst all your fields and houses, the more cruel a thing must it be to take it from him. I learned many things in Croisilles, and the last of them is this strange one the old man taught me. I turned and shook hands with him and said good-bye, for I wished to see again our old front line that we used to hold over the hill, now empty, silent at last. "The Boche is defeated," I said. "Vaincu, vaincu," he repeated. And I left him with something almost like happiness looking out of his tearful eyes.
