There was a splendid attendance men of the Borderers, Cheshires, Lancs, Engineers, and many from the other Brigade. =A Service on the Veldt.= 'At the close of the morning service, after a conversation among themselves, several stepped out and asked for an evening service.
"Haven't the foggiest!" answered the O.C. "The Cheshires always used to be at Helles, but I daresay they were moved to Suvla for the new landing there, along with the 29th Division. Fusilier Bluff has only just become notorious. Poor young Doon got his ticket there same gun." "We've a score to settle with that gun, Rupert," said Doe. Next day we dressed for our part on the Peninsula.
Guppy, I don't know but what I WILL take a marrow pudding." Three marrow puddings being produced, Mr. Jobling adds in a pleasant humour that he is coming of age fast. To these succeed, by command of Mr. Smallweed, "three Cheshires," and to those "three small rums." This apex of the entertainment happily reached, Mr. I have arrived at maturity." "What do you think, now," says Mr.
"We could see at a distance of about six hundred yards more of our troops on the right, but unable to get into touch with them as the enemy held posts between us. "On returning to the 1/6th Cheshires on our left, a counter-attack had already been launched against their left flank, consequently it was decided to withdraw to the Winnipeg-Kansas Cross Roads.
A lieutenant of A Company, 1st Cheshires: "I only know his nickname," says Private D. Schofield though wounded in two places, rushed to help a man in distress, brought him in, and then went back to pick up his fallen sword. Captain Robert Bruce, heir of Lord Balfour of Burleigh, distinguished himself in the fighting at Mons.
Immediately there followed a fine scene of reunion, in which Monty explained our delay at Mudros; Major Hardy told us that he had been appointed Brigade Major to our own brigade, his predecessor having been killed on Fusilier Bluff by the whizz-bang gun; and the M.L.O. shone over all like a benignant angel. "Ah! Another for the East Cheshires," said he. "Can I have your name, Major?"
Once aboard, Monty took the lead, seeking out the cabin of the Military Landing Officer and presenting to him our orders. He was an attractive little person, this M.L.O., and, having glanced over our papers, said: "East Cheshires? Oh, yes. And where are they? Are they at Suvla or Helles?"
"The Cheshires aren't at Suvla," said the M.L.O., with the acerbity of an overworked staff-officer. "They never were, and never will be at Suvla." "Oh," answered Monty brightly, seeing a vision of his friend, the M.L.O. of the Aragon, "then they'll be at Helles." The Suvla M.L.O. blasted Monty with a look, and said: "That's the remark of a fool."
