"No wonder you can't get your things in if you take away half the hotel linen," and she threw them to the other side of the room. In twenty minutes she had worked the magic of Wiggleswick.

B Company, as we have seen, did extraordinarily well under his command. The following N.C.O.'s were promoted to commissioned rank at Souastre for bravery and good conduct in the field: Sergts. Wickens, Ross, Turner, Rogers, Cawley and Crust. The two latter gained command of B and A Companies respectively during 1918.
