1.Better be the head of the yeomanry than the tail of the gentry.
宁为蛇头,不为龙尾。
2.Better be the head of the yeomanry than the tail of the gentry.
宁作自由民之首,不为贵族之尾。
3.Bagnold realized that the various backgrounds of the professional and the part time, and the colonial may not be a good mix so instead of integrated the new men into the New Zealand patrols he organized two new patrols "G" for Guards and "Y" for Yeomanry. "W" patrol was gone but the New Zealander still had "R" and "T" patrol.
于是他没有采取把来自这些部队的人员全部整合到新西兰巡逻部队里的作法,而是组织了两支新巡逻队:“G”代表来自近卫部队的人员,“Y”代表来自骑兵队的人员。
