Line 17: To say that the Third Lancers and the Valkyries encountered some difficulties working together would be an understatement; the two regiments formed a jealous rivalry with each other almost immediately, which led to an increasingly violent cycle of one-upmanship, backbiting and finally an actual shooting match on what should have been a joint training exercise.
