20th T of E.T. Exam.
An episode in France I call to mind, when at Armentieres, as soon as we arrived, the first few days we opened a pretty heavy strafe. Consequently in retaliation the Germans lobbed a good number on the town. The estaminet keepers were frantic and ran about saying "Australians No bon, No bon, plenty bombard. Finish Couchez"

28th Left the school with a first class pass for musketry & Lewis Gun.
