A brigadier of the 54th Infantry Brigade (18th Division), who had a
glass-eye, and his Cockney runner, were on their way up the line when
they observed a dead German officer who had a very prominent gold tooth.
The next day, passing by the same spot, the Brigadier noticed that the
gold tooth was missing.
"I see that his gold tooth has gone, Johnson," he said.
"Yessir."
"I suppose someone will take my glass eye, if I am knocked out."
"Yessir. I've put meself dahn fer that, fer a souvenir!"--_W. T.
