STEEPLE BATTERY

(Contributed by Gnr. Glestonbury, E.L.E.D. Section) Steeple Battery welcomes to its ranks Gunners A. E. K. Codlin, C. W. Rayner, L. W. Mildenhall, I. T. Peterkin, K. W. Tong and M. R. Terry, and regret very much the loss of Gms. T. A. Garner and 1. M. James, who have departed for Beacon Hill. On Wednesday, sth June, a very enjoyable evening was spent by as many of Steeple Battery complement as v could be spared, at a dance given by the Junior Fort Dorset Association. The Battery has the privilege of having two good men on the men committee in L/Sgt. J. E. Duignan and Gnr. R. F. Davies. The two novelties were enjoyed by all and our congratulations to Bill Russell .in carrying off the first prize in the “Chicago Foxtrot.” The “Paul Jones” Monte Carlo would make it appear that the members of the committee are still unattached, as this was typically a leap year dance. . Steeple Boys would like to know how one Bombardier (a married man) made himself the focal point of. three of Seatoun’s prettiest belles. Just . a reminder to Bob that most of Steeple Battery chaps are still single men. Everyone is looking forward to the next dance. \ t

We are told that the censor is still busy working on Steeple’s efforts for the next camp concert. The boys are all of one mind that the censor can be beaten, so just a tip to other Batteries to get moving. The pace is going to'be hot.

The last football match between Steeple and Exam, was a gruelling contest and although Exam “C” relief managed by some unknown means to defeat us by 11 points to 3. We are still willing to accept a challenge from any - team. ■ - . SPECIAL NOTICES. .
