"THE VISITING CORPORAL" - A solitary figure in the Flying Corps tunic, carrying curious-looking equipment, tramping stolidly around the batteries at all times of the day and night, often aroused the curiosity of the dwellers in the Forward Areas. It was a Visiting Corporal, a name without meaning to most but to those who knew, a heroic, impressive figure. Chosen from amongst the operators for his qualities of initiative, persistent, pertinacity, reliability, and skill in operating, he is placed in charge of ten or more stations. These he supervises, helping the inexperienced operator and bringing him equipment and clothing, collecting reports, investigating trouble, day in, day out, here and there, trudging through mud and debris, alone and without witness, over dreary, terrifying stretches of solitude, spurred on only by his own sense of duty and of "playing the game."
