There is, in the official journal of the ■l7 th Australian Infantry Brigade, [ proudly named “Puckapunyal” and printed in Palestine, as sound a piece 1 of advice as was ever given by a pa- , ternal brigadier to his troops, especially the lads seeing life a bit raw for I the first time. Brigadier Savage talks :to them straight. “I am proud of my ! command and the men who make it lup . . . but a number of young fellows cannot yet estimate the cargo they are 'capable of carrying ... a wise man ‘ marks his own plimsoll line. Inability to judge capacity has led to bravado | bordering on pure skite, and on arrival of the military police, an effort was made to change the contour of | the M’s.P. face—a very foolish thing | to attempt, because the offenders lost, as they always will. It simply doesn’t pay! Learn to keep within your caipa city. Don’t take what is not yours '■when you feel a bit reckless, and help tne cove who can’t play within these rules.”
