Battle of Regimentation
(By 8.M.D.) After a series of famous “mud larks” at Linton Park, a glorious and most ’successful advance was carried out on the new Mess buildings. Immediately the word was given the Regiment advanced as . one man, pushing P.W.D. employees to each side. After a hard-fought battle had raged for an hour or two the “enemy’’ gave ■ up. gathered their tools and retreated tc the Officers’ Mess block. This latter was taken in a brilliant thrust by our troops/ably led by their Officers and ’Bergs. - ■ Once in occupation of the new front, the Regiment set out to ■ consolidate their position, but owing to the absence of mud could not “dig in.’’ With victory has come a sense of satisfaction. ■ Hear! Hear! Hearty congratulations.
