-A '• private iri" the; R.A. M.C. writes : "It -is wonderful ■what a fellow will do for 'a- cigarette. Here is. an instance. While the medical officer, my pal, and I were' attending to some wounded in a house some 50(5 yards from the firinjz line, a- : .fellow came in and said to me : 'T. say, old sport, I think lam hit." "Let's have" a look—wheTe is it?" He replied: "In my left arm." I cut off the sleeve of : his coat and shirt, and saw he had a very bad wound. The flesh" had been torn 1 off from his shoulder down to his elbow. I dressed it for him, and told him- ; to sit down and keep quiet. He did so for about.half an hour, and then said tome: "I must go and fetch my overcoat." I tried to dissuade him, but he •Went, and about "twenty minutes later came back with the coat. He said: "I am glad I' found it. . I've got packet of cigarettes in. the ..pocket, so now I can have a. smoke. Give me a -light, will yon?" He sat there enjoying his smoke, to rescue a packet of cigarettes under such heavy firing as was going on at the time.
