He is a big fellow, even for a trench

as big as a Shetland pony, according

A youthful infantryman caught him

busy guarding, be got a Y-shaped tree

rats neck.
With the rat held helpless he tied a

the animal loose again.
The next occupants reported that the
rat was still an inmate Of the dugout.
And the Sammies have named him Ding
