 immediately got under the covers and feigned sleep. The matron stood talking in low tones to the night nurse and l fell asleep.
 When l awoke in the morning the night sister, an American, was bending over me. An awful sight met my eyes. The coverlet on the bed and the sheets were a mass of mud and green slime. She was good sport all right, and hustled to get clean clothes and sheets so that no one would get wise, but "on her own she gave me a good tongue flashing but did not report me. One of the Canadians in the ward described her as being "a Jake of a good fel- low"
 Next visiting day I had an awful time explaining to my visitor why I had not met her at the appointed time and pluce.
 And for d Wec& every time I passed a patient he would call, TWeu, we'll here's the Yank. Hope you are feel ing well, old top"
 The surgeon in our ward was an American, a Harvard unit man, named Frost. We nicknamed him "Jack trost.' He was loved by all If a Tommy was to be cut up he had no ob- Jection to undergoing the operation if "Jack Frost" was to wield the knife Their confidence in him was pathetic. He was the best sport I have ever met.
 One Saturday morning the command ant and some high up" officers were inspecting the ward, when one of the patients who had been wounded in the head by a bit of shrapnel. fell on the floor in a fit. They brought him round, and then looked for the ward orderly to carry the patient back to his bed at the other end of the ward. The or derIy was nowhere to be found-like our policemen, they never are when needed. The officers were at loss how to get Palmer into his bed. Doc tor Frost was fidgeting around in a nervous manner, when suddenly with a untitled "d--n" and a few other qualifying adjectives, he stopped down and took the man in his arms like a baby-he was no feather, either-and staggered down the ward with him, put him in bed and undreSSed him. A low of approval came from the pa- tients. Doctor Frost got very red, and as soon as he had finished undressing Palmer, hurriedly left the ward.
