TRUE TO FORM

C COY. IN THE NEWS AGAIN It was Sunday morning. It was cold. It was C Goy’s duty day, but no fatigues turned up. At about eight o’clock the 8.0.5. went over to the Coy. lines to see what was the matter. He bowled into Sgt. Calder’s hut and gazed down on the recumbent form beneath him. They say that Sgt. Calder looks very fetching while slumbering. However, that’s another story. The 8.0.5. did no Prince Charming • act, but brutally awakened the sleeping Calder. “Wassa marrer?” asked the latter returning to the cold, cold world. “Where are the fatigues?” said the 8.0.5. “How the blank should I know. Haven’t you got them?” So Sgt. Calder had to draw his shivering limbs out into the early morning air, to insert himself into his pants and all the other garments that a self-respecting sergeant wears. Then he and the 8.0.5. went out to find the missing fatigues. They, gazed down the .lines. Silence. Stillness. Who could they see? Not a soul. What could they hear? Nothing. It took only a few minutes to discover the awful truth. The whole Company was fast asleep. Every man jack in C Coy. had slept in! ♦ * * Egypt has “recognised” Russia. We guess that just about puts the U.S.S.R. on the map. * ♦ ♦ At a military funeral the other day we heard Reveille played. With these cold mornings it is so long since we heard Reveille that we did not recognise it.
