That the Welsh Guards will do as well as—they cannot

expect to do better than—their fellow Guardsmen will be the earnest and confident hope of all who know and have seen anything of this fine battalion. The distinguished soldier who commands them., ColonelMurray-Threipland, may well be proud of his officers and men. The personnel of the regiment in all ranks is thoroughly Welsh, and will, we do not doubt, maintain in the field the glorious fighting traditions of the Cymri. Ethnologically as well as morally, the Colonel has the happiness to command a " band of brothers."
