OLLIE NAIRN TALKS.
CHATTING casually over his exper-
iences in Nev/ Caledonia the other
night, Ollie Nairn said he was sat-
isfied that he had as good a run with the Waacs as any of the boys
in the Unit, ” Of course ”, he said,
“Keith Morton did pretty well for himself, but 1 he had opportun-
ities to get around which was a big help. Rube Curtiss',’ for example,
-who-did not got around at all could
hardly be expected to mak. a name ior himself. Another man who did
pretty well for himself was auric • Corrie. The " dark ‘horses, wore Maurie Doyle, Stan Will to, C.A. C ■ Reid, " Boogie Woogic ” Southcombc,
Ernie Clark and " Sex Taxes A Hol-
i day " Maxwell. I am sure" con - eluded Ollie, ” that neither Keith nor myself would have done so well ha cl the lads been able- to get
around with their technique'' loose.
Among the Sgts. , it seems to ma that Alan Chapman and the Transport Sgt. are d~ing alright for tram
selves down at the Drench home at the river, while Alex Bowman lost
not time when .n leave at he Kiwi Club* :::: " PANHANDLE ” may be.
hot stuff .'u hie " Pistol packin’"
line , out, according to the Bog Apo,
he and ” Babe ” Dawson have to be’' haulddd. out of bed. every morning. But that is not all. Morning afte'r
morning, the excuse of " At the
Latrine,Sir" has to be trotted out. ::: : AN exclusive party was hold
the other night at LeClcr’s -
a number of Waucs and among the male
escorts from Works was Baurie Boyle ,
and the " Bog Ape ". The press was
excluded, and all tails of the
journey home arc jealously preserved. It is understood that a good
deal of wine- was consumed, while thetables literally groaned with the
weight of chicken, fish, venison,
fr-sh potatoes, cream and other luxuries, :::: " SNO” Bell who is
well into he 4 ' 20th
month in Nev; Caledonia is happy at the thought of being a member of the ” Rear Party ” which means that
he will arrive home well into the
summer when * life in the Queen City will be* truly - the " only ■
place for civilised poop 1 to live".
