In the pale gray of early morning, outliness of sentries began to take shape, and off at the outpost a man could be seen crawling from behind his gun for a stretch. Then it came.

Slowly men raised their heads and looked stupidly at one another. Some did not raise, and there were cries of "Medics!"
