The hospital ship _Dunluce Castle_, on which I was serving, was taking
the wounded and sick from Gallipoli. Among the wounded brought on board
one evening was a man who was badly hurt about his face. Our M.O.
thought the poor chap's eyes were sightless.
Imagine our surprise when, in the morning, finding that his eyes were
bandaged, he pulled himself to a sitting posture in bed, turned his
head round and cried out, "S'y, boys, who's fer a gime of blind man's
buff?"
I am glad to say that the sight of one eye was saved.--_F. T. Barley,
