Excerpt from With Lord Methuen in South Africa, February 1990 to June 1901: Being Some Notes on the War, With Extracts From Letters and Diaries

IT seems to me, on looking over my first proof sheet, that it contains too many I's. There are, in fact, including I's, me's, my's, and mine's, no less than twenty-six allusions to the First Person Singular. I can only hope that what I have written may stand also for many hundreds of other I's who did very much the same things, and thought very much the same thoughts, perhaps, as I did, during our experiences in the South six years ago.
