SUBALTERN OFFICERS. 
both of the system and of us, is drawn, which I should not like to 
mention, if it were not by the pen of one of our own senior officers. 
“ The subaltern officers of horse and field artillery are excellent, they are trained 
to be much with their divisions, and to be proud of their work in all its thorough- 
ness and its smartness, and they have over other subalterns the advantage of a 
distinct charge and a responsibility.” 
In conclusion, I beg to apologize for the frequent use of the first 
person singular. What is written is the result of my own experience, 
and, without making more enquiries than are at present possible, it 
would be presumptuous to offer my own opinions as those of the 
majority of the junior officers of the regiment.
