Thanks indirectly to the Italians -Lc Australians now in the desert near the Libyan border are having plenty of fresh fish to vary the monotony of their diet. The Italians were always equipped with thousands of little red hand grenades, which, however, proved ineffective in action. Great stocks of fhese were collected after the Italian defeats, but nobody found any use for them except as cigarette cases, until an American Officer* who was in the desert as an observer suggested using them to dynamite fish in the Mediterranean. This proved an excellent practical idea and now special fishing parties are detailed to go to the coast and blow up enough fish for the camps.
