“All at once, without an order or a shout of any kind the column came to a halt and the soldiers, who until then had looked like a part of the machinery with their uniforms the same colour as the trucks, spang out-almost as if they had been shot out-holding rifles. Once on the ground, they leaned casually against the vehicles, looking at us, their cheeks as red as devils’. ‘Who says they’re white? They’re red devils!’ said one frightened boy of my age as if my thoughts had been my own.”
