Soldier with Stitched Head.
"COBBER WHO DID HIS BLOCK.'" (opcciul to Sydney Sun). Aji illustration of the seriousness with which some of Australia's citizens regard their military duties was afforded at the camp of the Fifth Infantry Brigade at Liverpool recently (says the Sydney Sun). A man went into camp with his head bound up. He had had eight stitches put in a wound. "How did it happen?" asked an officer. "Oh, i was skylarking with smother bloke, and he hit me with a ju.uk of wood," replied the private. "Did you tell the police about it?" asked the officer. "Oh, no," said the soldier; "he was a cobbor of mine. He started slinging off about having to go to camp and I liH him on the jaw. He did his block and cracked me with the wood." The officer went away to make th» necessary arangements to have the man's head dressed. .
