The men would have come from a variety of places in the country to the training camp‚ and the town would therefore have little connection to the men (hence there being a small turnout of support). The poem highlights this sense of anonymity and the very low-key way in which the men are transported

Quick‚ boys!-- An ecstasy of fumbling
