Gee Whiz At G. 5

Passers-by in the afternoon of May 10 were granted the unexpected pleasure of seeing the combined might of the 67th (all six men) and the 65th (both men) in action against a force of two-man huts. Our mechanised units arrived early in the pip emma, and the battle commenced with that famour war-cry, “Let’s Get Cracking!” . /

Although heavily outnumbered, the boys from the cactus, ably assisted by the. “Glow-worms,” held their own, and honours were even at the interval. We attribute our success to the tactical genius of our Commander-in-chief, who was awarded five marks.

Great was the rejoicing when the sixth hut teetered on its centre, -of gravity and slowly turned over, nearly wiping off the site commander. Two more were turned over in quick succession, both by our own driver who 1 has already been decorated with the C.B.

By this time the B.H.Q. driver was almost green with- envy. However, his next effort surpassed even his wildest dreams. . The hut slid down the back of the truck, cannoned off the.cush, all but slaughtered the Orderly Sergeant (did someone say “Too bad?”) "and collapsed in a • heap. There was much scone-doing in great quantities on a large scale. . This was undoubtedly the piece-de-resistance of a good show.

In spite of the fact that our only sergeant came close to losing a. finger while looking for bottles (empty) amongst the debris, both batteries agreed that they hadn’t had so much fun for years, and the 67th have extended to us a cordial invitation to call around and wreck a few of their huts sometime. BASKETBALL On a recent Wednesday H.2. played Epsom'District Sigs at. basketball. A lively game was enjoyed by both teams and resulted in a win for H.2., the score being: H.2. 14, Sigs 7.
