DUTY. 



The troop-horse, like all sol- 

 diers, has to learn his drill till he 

 becomes as efficient as his rider. 

 In war he will take his place in 

 his squadron should his rider 

 have been killed or wounded 

 In one instance, several guns of 

 the Royal Horse Artillery were 

 saved by the teams galloping- 

 back to their lines after all the 

 eunners and drivers had been 

 shot down.
