ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Question : Have you seen anything of a big yellow dog?—Sgt. Smith. Answer: No, we definitely have seen no sign or trace whatever of your big yellow dog. Question . Have you found the answer to the Ack Ack problem?— 2nd Lieut. Answer : Don't be silly. Question . Why is Mr Hewston always so busy? — ” Gunner.” Answer : Because he has so much to do. Question : Is the Bofors a light automatic rifle or a sub-machine gun?—” IIO.” Answer : On approaching Capt. Chapman, Mr Masters and Sgt. -Major Rogers for an official answer to your question, we were treated with ridicule. We suggest, however, that the Bofors would not be of very much use against subs, and therefore it is probably a light automatic rifle. Question : What HAS the Quartermaster got in his store?—” Haven’t got any.”
Answer : Files and papers for keeping check on the other files and papers in his store. Question : If a plane is flying at 15,000 feet on bearing 230 at a slant range of 7536 yards at a speed of 600 M.P.H., what would be the deflections if it looped the loop?— ” Gunnery Student.” Answer : The Infantry could do with men like you. Question : My daughter, aged 21, wishes to join the WAAC’s. Would you advise me whether I should let her do so?.—“ Mother of Six.” Answer :If you would be so good as to send us a photo, we will give the matter the serious attention it deserves. The general standard of WAAC’s could do with some improvement. You could also enclose a photo of the other five. Question : I sometimes feel like going A.W.O.L. Are there any places where I can get through the fence ?—Gnr. Stewart. Answer : Good Lord !
