BLISSFUL IGNORANCE
We were in action outside, a small town the other day, and Spider, my offsider, went away to get water. On his way back he came across an unexploded 6in.' naval shell. Of course he gave it a reasonably wide berth.
.'After covering about another 30 yards, “Spider’ ’happened to glance round, and there was a Wog about a yard behind him with the shell on his shoulder.
. With much cursing, Spider told the Wog to go places in a hurry. Much to his disgust the Wog just heaved the shell away there: and then. Spider dived for a shellhole and when he eventually looked up there was the Worthy Oriental Gentleman sitting on the shell, wearing a wide grin.
