The ' Gunners! 25 



myself from that out entirely to sport. Though I failed to 

 get 'Sappers' and succeeded in obtaining only a commission 

 in the ' Gunners,' I had the fleeting glory (remembered now 

 only by myself) of obtaining the winner's prize for winning 

 the greatest number of events each time I competed at the 

 annual foot races for the cadets.
