AN ANLERI(AN SOLDIER
WHO WENT " 4
GUNNER, SERVING N FRANCE
| 0iN7 BY
iARTHnR GUY EhPN|

We had a Sergeant in our battalion
named Warren. He was on duty with
his platoon in the fire trench n after
noon when orders came up from the
real that he had been granted seven
days leave for Blighty, and would be
relieved at five o'clock to proceed to
England.
He was tickled to death at these
welcome tidings and RECALLED his more
or less envious mates beside him on
the fire step with the good times in
store for him. He figured it out that
in two days time he would arrive at
Waterloo station, London, and then
seven days bliss!
At about five minutes to five he
started to fdget with his rifle, and
then suddenly springing up on the fire
step with a muttered, "TIl send over
a couple Of souvenirs to Fritz so that
, he'll miss me when hleave," he stuck
his rife over the top and fired two shots
when "crack'' went a bullet and he
