CROSSED CHEQUE
I SENT TO MIDDLE EAST RETURNED WITH 30 SIGNATURES A firm If stock and station agents in Australia had a bill of £2O/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 tile stern instruction: “In future, cheques of this nature should not be crossed.”
