During lite last war. when the American troops were newly arrived in France, one of their officers felt rather peeved because they hadn't taken any prisoners So lie spoke privately to his sergeant and offered a bonus of five dollars for every German captured. The effect was marvellous. Next day the sergeant led in a “string" of nearly a hundred prisoners. “Magnificent."' said the officer, as he rather ruefully counted out the promised reward. "How did you do it'.’" "Quite easily.” said the sergeant, pocketing the cash quickly. "The New Zealanders in the next sector had plenty to spare at a dollar a head."
