Excerpt from At Suvla Bay I made my way to the Marylebone recruiting office, and after waiting about for hours, I went at last upstairs and stripped out with a lot of other men for the medical examination. The smell of human sweat was overpowering in the little ante-room. Some of the men had hearts and anchors and ships and dancing-girls tattooed in blue on their Chests and arms. Some were Skinny and others too fat. Very few looked' fit. I remarked upon the shyness they suffered in walking about naked.
