Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

THE CADET SCHOOL. 0 doubt you have seen, in the highways N and byways, a lot of youths in khaki with white bands round their caps. These g boys are called cadets, and are usually men home from the front to train for commissions. In Sandhurst they are officially styled gentlemen cadets but apparently we are not supposed to be gentlemen-we re just cadets. Funny, isnt i t But that S the way of the army. Well, my name is John Brown-a very ordinary nameLand I m one of those fellows. Before-the war I evaded toil by beching a student, and spent a lot of time on ologies and osophies. Now I m learning to be a pukka officer, and the leader of sixty men to the cannons mouth. When I left my battalion for the cadet school I shed no tears. They were in the trenches, or, rather, in the mud. And it cost a pair of brand-new boots to get on to the road. However, I survived, and in due time landed at Windmoor. This is a blasted heath, swept by the winds, and isolated from picture-shows, barmaids, and revues hot a petticoat in sight, and at every corner a notice which amounts to England expects that every cadet this day will do his duty. This is no Utopia, I muttered, falling into the first hut by the way. Ye gods There was an old colonel, with eyes like a hawk and cheeks like dumplings and what do you think he was doing Cutting his corns. What the-why the-who the devil are you, sah John Brown, sir, I said meekly, for never in my life had I seen such a perfect relic of the Napoleonic wars. Get to blazes out of this, John Brown he roared, putting his fat feet on the floor and banging the door. I was again alone-on the blasted heath. The old gent inside was Colonel Eat-All, the commandant. Rumour says he devoured two dervishes at Omdurman. I stumbled on once more, and found the orderlyroom. This way, said Sergeant-Major Kneesup, introducing me to the adjutant, I clicked my heels in the style of a Guardsman, and saluted like a railway signal. Well said a blas6-looking genb with three pips, looking up at me from his papers. John Brown, sir. G Who sent you here The War Office. Umph I know nothing about you...
