"Good!" the officer is pleased. He helps you fill out all of your paperwork, and soon you are training in Valcartier, Quebec. You are not an exceptional soldier— most aren't, but your enthusiasm brightens the other soldiers' day.

"Oh no, that sounds fine."

"Look in the back for another Lee Enfield, please."
