Thompson led them in, stepping down from the saddle and beating the dust from his uniform, then stamping up the steps into his office. Lieutenant Ellis came to attention behind the desk. ‘Get me a drink, Mr. Ellis,’ the colonel said, slumping into his chair. Ellis hastened to pour a generous measure of whisky and placed the tin cup on the desk before the grey-faced soldier. ‘I’ve never seen anything like it,’ Thompson said, as though to himself. ‘Not in peacetime. Never.’ ‘It was bad, then?’ Ellis prompted. He had stayed behind in command during the absence of the patrol. ‘Bad, bad?’ Thompson snarled, ‘It was ... it was ... aaah!’ He hurled the tin cup at the wall and pushed his chair back from the desk. ‘I’m going to get a wash and shave,’ he said. ‘Get Sergeant Battle to give you a full report. I’ll add my observations.’ ‘Before you go, sir...’ Ellis said hesitantly.
