BERKSHIRE BOYS BOUND FOR BERLIN.
One of the New County Battalions.
"I don't envy the man who, without valid excuse, resolutely remains aloof. For when our armies return victorious, as they will return, the bystander who has idly watched the proceedings from a distance will be in a melancholy position. Everybody will be hurrying to heap laurels on their heads--- God knows what they will wish to heap on his. I feel certain that such a man, when he knows that our country is victorious and that his neighbours and friends have shed their blood in the field for what he was not willing to lift his finger, will wish to God that he had died on the field on battle." ---Lord Rosebery.
THE OFFICERS 7TH BATT. ROYAL BERKSHIRE REGIMENT.
