CROSSED CHEQUE
SENT TO MIDDLE EAST
RETURNED WITH 30 SIGNATURES
A firm of stock and. station agents in Australia had a bill of £20/9/6 to pay. It drew the cheque, and the cheque (crossed) was signed, but then it got wrapped up in a newspaper which was sent with others to the troops in the Middle. East. The boys found it eventually,, and 30 of them,, headed by a lieutenant, tried to cash it, but the local banks would not bite.
Therefore the cheque, with its 30 endorsements, was returned to the sender with the stern instructions: "In future, cheques of this nature should not be crossed."
