Living up to the record of your

one buck private learned during a

chief when the latter reviewed the
4th Division recently.
AS the general was making his

wearing q wound stripe.
Where were you wounded?"
asked General Pershing.
"At SCISSORS, SIR
A little farther down the line he
stopped again.
Where were you wounded?" he
asked.
"Wou-unded?" replied the soldier,
with some surprise, unconsciously
looking himself over for blood. Just
then his eye caught q gold chevron
on his right sleeve and he snapped
back to attention.
Borrowed the Overcoat, SIR" he
answered.
