After the first Battle of Ypres in 1914 the Scots Guards were being
relieved by a well-known London regiment.
A diminutive Cockney looked up at a six-foot Guardsman and asked him
what it was like in the front line.
[Illustration: "'Oo's neck?"]
"Up to your neck in mud," said the Guardsman.
"Blimey, oo's neck?" asked the little chap.--_H. Rogers (late 116th
