POSTMAN'S KNOCK

A'. 1943 version,of that ever pupular party gums,’Postman’s Knock’ has ..been introduced by Sgt • Cavil, The rules have been altered to suit -the requirements of troops ano can be played \ by all ranks* There is a total disregard for .convention or property, which adds a. new..-dash-and sparkle to the game* . . A. general' survey of**, the rules - gives the information that the first requirement is a second-hand badly-broken-down Jeep ' and the second,a scatterbrained driver, load the vehicle with parcel. mail and steer an eccentric course for the cookhouse*/ A .speed of : IJ-.LWH must be maintained at dll times.* When- five yards from the' cookhouse ‘ the driver mus' attempt - a pieas glissade to either right or left. The idea being to remove . any one of'the 'corner posts without bringing the roof down ’ about your Gars. The Jeep must remain unscathed. Total demolition -of tho /cookhouse is considered bad form. On completion of a .successful manoeuvre the driver calls . y Strike one* and .. then bursts'.-into /maniacal laughter. All- debris must be removed before daylight J • • ' A brilliant effort by Sgt. Civil waff recorded on Sat. night last* As the attempt was not official it cannot be claimed as a record. ‘ - V/« /■ y‘‘- ■l. : . . -. /
