Result: something smaller in shirts, bigger in hats, and whatever was left in boots, etc. • 1 started in to go crook last pay day, as by the time we were paid the darn canteen had run out of grog and Youngy and I were, left again. When i mentioned it to our company commander he said: “I promise you lads that ithe next thing ,that’s on we’ll start at the other end of the line for a change.” We thanked him, and went back to our tent, very pleased. Well, that O.C. kept his word (bless him!) Next darn parade was for vaccination. Anyway, I’m changing -it to Aarons for the “duration.” (The W’s 5 Battery.)
