When serving with the Artists' Rifles in France we went into the line
to relieve the "Nelsons" of the 63rd (Royal Naval) Division.
As I was passing one of their men, a regular "Ole Bill," who was seated
on the fire-step, I heard him say, "Artists' Rifles, eh; I wonder if
any of you chaps would _paint_ me a plate of 'am and eggs!"--_R. C.
