HOT SHOTS
WE understand that Sgt. Hotere held an “at home” in his hut the other evening after a “do” in the Sergeants’ Mess. It was a rather exclusive affair—he didn’t invite any of his pals, ‘it was noticed. * * *
Who is the D Coy. man who is seen each morning to empty a hot water bottle? * * * Colin Ruskruge has acquired the name “Topsy” because he works in Uncle Tom’s Cabin. ~■* * * Who wouldn’t be a sergeant? Poultry two weeks running!
A COW!
We were very proud of our gardens. None more so than the gardeners. But the other day a drove of cattle was being driven past, when the leaders decided to investigate the camp. So cows (male and female), horses (sex unknown) and dogs (assorted) went for a stroll over our gardens. The pansies and violas, snuggling to the bosom of mother earth, withdrew from sight. They haven’t been seen since. And you should have heard the language of the gardeners. . . . ’strewth! * * * Said the young lady— there’s Murray McNair—-you know— bulldog’s father.”
