HOT SHOTS

Attached to the personnel of the Air Force stationed near our camp is a gentleman affectionately referred to as the “Bull.” Phooey! Alongside a certain W.O. in this camp he is not even a bobby calf. Snarlers ! ! ! ! It was proposed that the largest of a recent consignment of sausages be kept as a mascot, or even better that a selected number of the best barkers be raised to put on a chorus at one of our concerts. Which reminds us when talking about animals, that many new recruits from the land, on arrival at camp stare in amazement at the 8.0 S. with his broad red sash. They think that this sash has the same significance as a cattle show. C Company likes te be exclusive, but they give discreet coughs and blush when they‘are asked wha-t Hut 34 is used for. It is in their lines, but maybe it is just another way of camouflage. We like our hot showers but the pump which does all the work in bringing nature’s gift to humanity from the bowels of the earth seems to belong to a recalcitrant union of some sort. For a change the other day the pump worked, but the pipes became blocked and a team of willing workers stood by and lifted yards of piping in the air. One private high in the sky hanging on to the edge of the tank guided the pipe with one, hand. Suddenly the pipe smote a frayed overhead live wire and a crowd of boys on the ground and one in the air performed a dance which would have received a big hand at any concert. Just another example of the versatile treatment meted out at our camp.
