“THANKS, GEORGE.”
The scene was Logan Park. The Regiment’s Rugby team was striving mightily to gain the ascendancy in a tough game with ’Varsity E. The score was nine all and there was not long to go. On the sideline were many of our barrackers— and men of the Regiment—lustily urging the team on to victory. Yes, our forwards had their opponents bustled and looked likely to score. Enthusiasm ran high and our supporters literally danced up and down the sideline spurring on a magnificent forward sortee. Through the tumult a voice came clearly that of Georgeone of our mess-room girls who was—-yes, just a teeny weeny bit excited : “Go it, boys— it! Go ; n for your chop ! ” she cried. It was meet and right from a mess orderly, and, moreover, it had the desired effect, for, almost immediately after, a potted goal decided the game in our favour 13—9. Thanks, George !
