A smali New Zealander, after the 'battle of Messines, was in charge of TSix German prisoners, who, taking advantage of their captox's diminutive size, hegan to kick over the traces, and at one part of their journey absolutely refused to move. The Jsew Zealander asked them two or three times to get a move on, but the Germans only laughed at him. The little fellow stood it as long as possible, and finally lost lis temper. Putting his hand into a bag he carried and drawing out a bomb, he yelled: "You won't go, you blighters, won't you? Then take that, and that, and that." Each time he uttered the word 'that" le threw a bomb and there was one Cerman the less. When he had thrown four bombs the remaining two Huns streaked like scalded cats.
