THE HONOUR OF THE BRIGADE.

[To TIIR EDITOR OF TRH " EIFECTA.TOR.1 Sin,—Snow-bound in a moorland camp, it is often difficult to got soldiers out for field work during winter. So we arc able to give men a little instruction and help in evening classes which they greatly appreciate. To-night I read in a crowded hall " The Honour of the Brigade " (Spectator. December 11th). There was profound silence. Many wounded s idlers " on light duty " listened with rapt attention. When reading the passage, " in the open space between the trenches lay some they had known and loved, unburied," brave men burst int tears and covered their faces with their hands. Our soldiers are full of sympathy. It is a joy to serve them.—I am, Sir, &o.,
