POLO IN THE ARMY. [Chap. XII. 



The above list by no means includes all the Polo 

 players who have distinguished themselves in this 

 campaign. There must be scores of others, especi- 

 ally in the Infantry and Royal Artillery, who 

 have done most of their polo abroad. I have only 

 mentioned those whom I have either played with, or 

 have seen playing, or whose names I have found in 

 the records. I think I have mentioned enouoh to 

 show, if only by the extraordinary large proportion of 

 decorations, and Brevets awarded to Polo players, that 

 the game has some influence for good in the training of 

 an officer, and should therefore be encouraged by our 

 military authorities in every possible way.
