MON 2/22 - DO NOW: In the passage below, what is Graves suggesting about his sword?
“I felt tired out by the time I reached company headquarters, sweating under a pack-valise like the men, and with all the usual furnishings hung at my belt—revolver, field-glasses, map-case, compass, whiskey-flask, wire-cutters, periscope, and a lot more. A ‘Christmas-tree,’ that was called. Those were the days in which officers had their swords sharpened by the armourer before sailing to France. I had been advised to leave mine back in the quartermaster-sergeants’ billet, and never saw it again, or bothered about it.”- Robert Graves, “Life in the Trenches” from Good-bye to All That
