About six o’clock the corporal of the guard came in. He looked the room
over and asked where the five men were who had the French pass. We spoke
up and were told to come with him. We went and were told that our pass
was no good, that we could go but would have to leave town at once.
Luxembourg, from what I saw of it, is a wonderful city. Street cars,
electric lights, cafés, hotels, stores and at least one good-looking
girl, were a few of the things we saw.
No doubt you have noticed that each division has some sort of shoulder
insignia. Ours is a yellow trumpet on a green background. It is the coat
of arms of the Mallet Reserve. If ever you see on the left sleeve right
where it joins the shoulder the yellow trumpet on the green background,
you will know that the Mallet Reserve is on its way.
