Waac—o Wellington
Everyone was in high spirits when nine Waac “glowworms” left for Wellington on a course. As the weary trip dragged on they began to think that maybe it would have been better to have been left on the station (railway or otherwise). When they arrived finally three hours late they were quite certain of it. There was no breakfast—instead a parade with pay-books, and all those particulars wanted again that they’d already given at leasf ten times in their army career; name, age, height, colour of eyes, etc. Eventually they got a meal and a spot of leave, and wandered off to see the sights of the windy city. (Note: -There aren’t any). . Unfortunately, there was no leave in •the evenings, so we were able to get to, bed early—well by 1 a.m., anyway. We spent some enjoyable evenings at - one of the clubs, where strangely enough, we ran across some officers we knew (also on a course) who; also couldn’t get leave. , Anyway, a good time was had by all. Wishful Sinking Japanese communiques on naval warfare might be described as “wishful sinking.”
