“THIRSTY SOULS”
John Turberville, in a letter dated 1647:—“My house is, and hath been, full of soldiers this fortnight, such uncivil drinkers and thirsty souls that a barrel of good beer trembles at sight of them, and the whole house nothing but a rendezvous of tobacco and spitting." Colleague's unkind comment: “I didn’t know there were Australian troops in 1617.”
