After being wounded at Ypres in July 1917, I was being sent home. When
we were all aboard, an orderly came round with life-belts.
When he got to the next stretcher to me, on which lay a man who had
his arm and leg in splints, he asked the usual question ("Can you
look after yourself if anything happens going across?"), and received
the faint answer: "Lumme, mate, I've enough wood on me to make a
raft."--_A. E. Fuller (36th Battery R.F.A.), 21 Pendragon Road, Downham
Estate, Bromley._
