A closer approach to the shore revealed sentries posted here and there. These were old gentlemen in battered kepis, long coats and baggy trousers, armed with rifles, which were capped by bayonets of an inordinate length. The 28th Band, which had been revived at Ferry Post, came into action and did its best with the "Marseillaise." This was responded to from the wharves, where a number of women and a few men had assembled to see the new arrivals. "Vivas" for France and Australia were exchanged and some of the members of the Battalion let go what they recollected of their schooldays' French. _At 3.30 p.m. the voyage came to an end._ [Illustration] Appendix A.

Stanley Maude, the Conqueror of Mesopotamia._
