Carrick – Did the aero machine mean to land on the boat, or was it just a happy accident?

MFair – Welcome to Feldwebel Ivan Immer. Here’s wishing him a long and illustrious career, with lots of victories and lots of bier. As for this O’Rourke fellow, perhaps he's a spy.


Lieutenant Frederick Abbott, (that’s right, Lieutenant), is returning to camp today. On the 30th his G/O Thomas Yale visited to see how he was coming along and to give him the news about his promotion and about his award of the MC. Freddy was quite speechless when his friend handed him the extra pips and the swatch of white and purple ribbon, along with Freddy’s extra tunic as the one he’d been wearing on his admission to hospital was a bit the worse for wear, what with the bullet hole and blood and all. Yale informed him that the Old Man expected him to be in uniform when he returned, no excuses. Freddy was also told that the presentation of the medal would be a proper affair during dinner upon his homecoming and that he’d better have his purse at the ready - again. Nurse Ellison was thrilled for her latest conquest and said she would see to it that the new items were fitted to his tunic right away. That evening, after Thomas left, Freddy and Lizzie went out for a celebration of their own, as did they again the following evening. The two just couldn’t seem to get enough of each other and took full advantage of the little time they had together. Ah, to be young and in lust.
