An Irish soldier in the Middle East received a letter from his wife saying that because of the war she would have to dig all the garden herself. “Please don’t dig the garden,” he wrote back in reply. • "That’s where the guns are.”
The letter was duly censored, and in a short time soldiers came and dug the garden from end to end. The wife, worried over the incident, wrote asking what she should do-. Pat’s reply was short and to the point: “Put in the spuds.”
