No telling when we'll have to stand off a Hun raid or go into one ourselves, and then we won't have time to eat.

That's so! agreed Bob, more cheerfully.

It would be fierce if we didn't have anything to chew on at all. But when I catch that Noddy Nixon--well, he'd better watch his step, that's all.

Else he'd rustle his own wood. I had hard work to get that bunch. There was a German sniper who had a pretty fine bead on the place where I saw the sticks, but I went down the trench a way, and began firing at him from there.
human

human
I hope he burns his tongue on the hot soup or coffee or whatever he heats with it,
