ROAST PIG IN THE TRENCHES
Sergt. Freshwater, of the Highland Light Infantry' •• rites home, giving the following experiences:—The other day one of our fellows shot a-pig that came wandering towards our trench. The difficulty was, however, to get him. The pig lay aboiit thirty yards from us, and was right in the line of the German fire. Some of the Germans also shot at him, but it was our chaps who killed him. We drew lots who would go and fetch the. "bacon" in. • The chap who was stuck for the job went out at once, though some of us wanted him to wait until it got dark, but he wouldn't. He got the pig in safely, though he got two shots through his sleeve and one through his cap, and the pig got sis shots in him. We skinned and roasted the pig in 'the trench that night, and had a real good breakfast off him the next morning.
