In a few more minutes, in the barrack field near Meerut, the chaplain of the garrison would begin to read to him his own burial service. Precious moments passed and still he could not collect his thoughts properly. The gold fringes on the epaulettes of the mounted officers jiggled to the horses' walk and the wine-red of their sashes glowed richly against the bright scarlet of their tunics. Both the riders and the foot escort were clear of the town already, leaving behind the strange cluster of buildings which made up the principal British garrison town in the Punjab. Beside the Indian temples and the native bazaar stood airy bungalows, the military bandstand, the polo grounds, and the new Victorian church of St John, a gothic building which looked as if it had been snatched up from Knightsbridge or Cheltenham and set down on this hot, windy plain.
