OURSELVES.

In common w ith th e p ractice of previous reinforce­m ents, we desire to hand down to posterity a souvenir th a t will reg ister th e fac t th a t th e Fourteen ths passed across the trackless deep to link up w ith those who have already crossed and who, doubtless, a t tim e of w riting are engaged in death grips w ith th e troops of th e ‘ ‘ Road H og of E urope ’ ’ ; engaged in death grips while the fa te of our E m pire trem bles in th e balance and th e cry of F reedom ’s M arty rs scales the firm am ent of God. •

In undertak ing th is journalistic venture, we recognise our lim itations. Tlie obstacles to be overcome when striv ing to p r in t and publish a magazine under present conditions are sufficiently obvious and therefore need n o t be stressed. A ll we ask of our readers is a sym­pathetic reception and charitab le criticism. G ranted these, th e “ K itbag ” will no doubt roost high on the journalistic perch, and we sincerely tru s t will also be considered of sufficient historic im portance to be handed down to our children as a record th a t the men of the F ou rteen th “ played th e g am e” and stood shoulder to shoulder w ith the E m pire’s Sons during th e bloodiest w ar in th e history of th e world.

MAJOR BROWN’S MESSAGE TO TROOPS.

In a few weeks we will be in England. From now on I w ant you to rem em ber th a t the honour of New Zea­land lies w ith you each individually.

Sustain th a t honour, men, so th a t you and the memory of all A NZACS will ever be recalled as n o t only brave men, b u t orderly, com petent, tra in ed soldiers.

Do th is, and you will meet w ith nothing b u t kindness and hospita lity from all sides.

A PERSONAL SKETCH.

M ajor Brown, C anterbury In fa n try B attalion , M ain Body, who is re tu rn in g to the F ro n t as O.C. of the 14 th R egim ent, has had considerable experience in both volunteer and T errito ria l tra in ing . H e joined the College Rifles (Christchurch) ten years ago as a private, and rose step by step un til he commanded th e company as a 1st L ieu tenan t, being appointed second in com- mancl of A Company, 1st (C anterbury) R egim ent,

when th e double company organization was brought in to fox-ce. On the outbreak of the w ar he volunteered for service, bu t had to undergo an operation before being accepted. H is place was kept open, and he was posted to the 2nd (South C anterbury) Company a fo r t­n igh t a fter the rem ainder of the Forces had been in camp. The voyage to E gyp t took two m onths, and he was in E gyp t from the 6th of December, 1914, to the 6th A pril, 1915, tak ing p a r t in th e Suez Canal fight on the 3rd of F ebruary . On the 6th of A pril the A us­tra las ian Forces le ft for Lemnos, where ten days were spent in the harbour practising disem barkation from the steam ers into small boats and then landing on the shore and form ing up p rio r to making the attack . The landing on G allipoli was made on the 25tli, th e A uck­land B atta lion and th e 1st and 2nd Companies of the C anterbury B attalion being th e first of th e new Zea­landers to land, the rem ainder coming ashore th a t night. W hile in th e field M ajor B row n’s appoin tm ent as Tem porary C aptain was confirmed, and on th e 25th of September, 1915, he received his m ajority . D ysen­tery claim ing him as one of its subjects, he le ft the P en insu la early in October and was invalided back to New Zealand by the “ M alieno.” The M ajor is now fully recovered and hopes to rejo in his old B attalion a t the F ron t. H is experiences a t the F ro n t m ake him an in teresting lecturer, and should prove of value to officers and men who are being in itia ted in to service conditions.

FROM THE PADRE.

* There has been b u t one arm y— according to the h is­to rian Taine— noted alike for its invincible valour as for its stainless m orality— Cromwell’s Ironsides. W hy th is unique distinction ? Because the ir swords were touched to flame by D ivin ity . “ F o r God and the C o v en a n t” was the ir ba ttle shout, and w ith th a t hot in the ir th roa ts , and H is S p irit in the ir hea rts , they rose up in m ight and th e ir enemies were scattered. There is a s tup id idea abroad in these P h ilistine days th a t a reverence for high heaven is unw orthy of a soldier, and a belief in God makes for weakness ra th e r th an strength . W e are no t th u s ; we are on the 's ide of Carlyle and th e Angels, and are assured “ the best of lives are those in G od.”

W e are equally certain , th a t as the w arriors of the p ast,— the Raleighs and the D rakes, the Cromwells and the H avelocks—were strengthened for th e ir high endeavour by the ir tru s t in the A lm ighty , so shall the soldiers of to-day find the ir s treng th as the s treng th of ten when the ir h ea rt is pure and th e ir confidence is fixed in God.

So may we sons of the S outhern Cross be clothed w ith Celestial power, and hu rl forw ard the ranks of w ar u n til we grasp in our hands th a t presage of peace— V IC TO R Y .

“ God o f our fa thers, known, o f old,Lord o f our far-finny battle line,Beneath whose aw fu l hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine—L ord God of H osts, be w ith us ye t,Lest we for (jet— lest we forget.

AWAY FROM HOME.

F o r most, if no t all of us, the mysterious and sicken­ing heavings of the tu rb u len t sea, and the dismal shriek and howl of the ocean w ind, now hold no te r ­rors, and the shores of lands h itherto known to us only th rough the geography book and tales of travel, have no secrets. Slowly, b u t surely, are we becoming as travellers bold, and our long trek across two oceans has already given, even to men born and bred of the country, th e roll common to those who, year in and year out, go down to th e sea in ships. Travel brings wisdom and a broader outlook, and its com pensating advantages quite outweigh those attached to a stay-at- home life. There was a tim e, indeed, when daring travellers re tu rned after long absence and to ld w onder­fu l tales of monsters on sea and land, of new and strange countries, of queer peoples w ith queer customs, and enth ralled credulous folk who p referred to stay at home w ith stories more w onderful th a n any related by De Rougem ont in his w ildest flights of im agination. Now we bold travellers already know a few things for ourselves, and if we haven’t seen m any of these same wonders, of which early travellers spoke, such as sea serpents and g rea t monsters of the deep, then i t m ust be because they don’t exist. Thus observant travel broadens and enlarges the intellect, and we forge ahead richer in knowledge and in com panionship, and steeled in purpose in playing our p a r t in the g rea t game.

A certain old soldier considers th a t Red Cross men are the m ost hard worked on the ship, b u t has often w ondered why the Chaplain is placed opposite th e D is­pensary. P robably th e surest way to th e Chaplain is via the D ispensary.

ON AUSTRALIAN SOIL.

N igh on two weeks of tossing and heaving, first 011 the bosom of the Pacific (surely a m isnom er!), and then in the turm oil of the G reat A ustra lian B ight, had left us subdued in sp irit and shaky in lim b, and for our infirmities no greater tonic could have been prescribed than a sight of the sloping shores of the G reat A u stra ­lian Continent. I t was an im m ediate panacea for all our ills. N o t altogether was th is so because i t was a glimpse of land , b u t prim arily because i t involved a h a lt in our journey and a long anticipated tram p on terra firm a. D aybreak on the 7th J u ly saw the first

break in our journey since leaving the shores of New Zealand, and b rough t us up in the stream a t F re ­m antle , the p o rt of the A ustra lian Com m onwealth’s g rea t W estern S tate . W ith a buoyancy of sp irit and gladness of hea rt, the little arm y swung down the troop­sh ip ’s side in to tug and barge, and in a few m inutes stepped ashore, and w ith a g rea t heave, so to speak, stam ped hard and shook off the brine and stain of the sea. I t was the period of the year when n a tu re was at its best, and the v erdan t green of hill and park in strik ing con trast to the barrenness of midsummer. P e r th could not have been seen to b e tte r advantage, and local people surely boasted of something good in the ir N ational P ark . T heir hospita lity and good cheer were in keeping w ith the beauty of th e ir city. The re ­g re t was general th a t our stay was so brief, more especially when one got into conversation w ith the oldest iden tity and listened to his w onderful tales of th e great in terio r, of the fam ed K algoorlie and Coolgardie, and then of the fa r northern shores where the pearl-diver has his home. T here’s a romance about A ustra lia which makes an unfailing appeal to the young, vigorous m ind, and the lu re of the Golden W est, had the occa­sion been different, would surely have caused many to h a lt 011 the way.

An unconscious joke was m ade by one of the officers when on F rem an tle w harf before dismissal. H e said : “ Now you’ll be a free man till 9 p.m.

A DREAM.

H aving been driven silly one day by a lecture on guard duties, the subjec t got such a hold on me th a t 1 m ust dream abou t it.

Dreams are so fan tastic too. Lo and behold, I dream t th a t I , a full p riva te, was in charge of the m ain guard ju s t abou t to go on duty. Most surprising, too, was the fact th a t I was placed in command of a M ajor, two C aptains and th ree L ieutenants. These lined up outside th e hu t. “ A tten tion ! ” I roared. The slovenliness of the ir movements was disgusting. “ Hold your head up, and try to look like soldiers. M ajor, d on ’t you know w hat a tten tion means yet? Square yourself up, my man. You L ieutenants wipe th a t grin off your faces, look in telligen t even if i t is only p retence.”

“ N ow,” I said, "b e fo re m arching you off I ju s t w ant to give you a few h in ts abou t the duties of a m ain guard . Get th a t vacan t look off your faces and pay atten tion . Now ju s t take i t to h ea rt th a t this job you are on is a most im p o rtan t one. There is no cakes and ale business abou t i t either. You have to p ro tect the K in g ’s property .

down in a soldierly m anner. D on’t go to sleep. C arry your rifle a t the slope on the shoulder. D on’t th ink it a bag of flour to be swung round the neck. D on’t le t anyone over-reacli on your beat. I f a Colonel comes along, and says, ‘ L e t’s have a look a t your rifle, .m ate,’ give him th e hard word and the icy s tare . D on’t p a r t w ith your rifle to anyone, no t even to a p riva te . H ave a spell in the sentry box now and then. J u s t stand a t ease—you ought to know w hat th a t means by now. D on’t p u t your rifle down and s it on it , m ind. I f you see a chap coming along past your beat smoking a pipe or cigarette, te ll him to p u t i t out. D on’t say please, e ither, say i t in a way th a t adm its of no argum ent. The rest of you not on du ty scale into the guard room, and don’t loiter abou t o u t­side th ink ing th a t the nurses a t th e hospital w ant to adm ire you. I t would be a reflection on the ir in te lli­gence to th ink anyth ing of the sort. Now about saluting. This is most im portan t. U nderstand th a t when an officer comes along i t is no t correct to sa)'-, ‘ H ullo , Cobber, how goes it? ’ You cut th a t business out. K eep your eyes lifting for the blokes in Sam Brownes. The stripe m an don’t count. W hen a lieu­te n a n t comes along, he is easily picked, he looks so cocky, 90 per cent, swank and 10 per cent, conceit. I t ’s his m ake-up, b u t if you have any doubts see th a t he has a band round his sleeve, and either one or two stars on his shoulder straps. Face him , and salute by holding th e rigE t hand across th e small of th e b u tt. A C aptain has th ree stars and two bands round his sleeve. H e is easily picked, too. H e wears a w orried look. P oor chap, he is try ing to convince himself th a t he will yet drive some intelligence into his lieu te­nants. Salu te him in th e same way. W hen a M ajor comes along ju s t prick up your e a rs : he is h o t stuff, wears a crown and three bands round the sleeve. H e is generally a fa t, short-w inded old chap, so rt of m an who has not seen his toes for years, and never does Swedish drill. S alu te him by presenting arms. B u t ■for the L o rd ’s sake don’t m istake a Sergeant-M ajor for th e real M ackay. A Sergeant-M ajor is easily picked. H e looks twice as im portan t as a real M ajor. D on’t have any tim e for him , though now, when the Camp Com m andant comes along, lay your ears back and look real serious. H e is a real gun .and a half, you make no error. S tric tly in priva te you can call him a tin h a t, b u t only in a whisper. In public he has to be viewed w ith awe. The Camp C om m andant has a red band on his cap and lots of red on his coat collar. Indeed, when he is out and about a fatigue p arty is ou t chasing th e bulls th a t are w ithin a few miles of th e Camp. Now, don’t you m ake the fa ta l error of m istaking a C aptain in the Salvation A rm y for the o ther m an, because he wears a lot of red, too. H e is easily distinguished. The Salvation A rm y m an wears a holy look ; th e Camp C om m andant doesn’t. You salu te the tin h a t by calling ou t the guard and presenting arms. D on’t ju s t co-o a t them , m in d ; bellow like a real staff ser­geant-m ajor. Shake the ea rth and make the roots r a ttle . W hen the officer of the day comes along, he is easily picked o u t; he wears a sword, and a “ s tripe r ” always follows a t his heels. Salute him by calling out th e guard , too. H e doesn’t mean any harm , and if his face is cu t and his clothes d irty and torn , i t is cfiused by his constantly falling over his sword as he

goes round. F or an arm ed party also tu rn out the guard . W hen you see a pa rty coming along w ith towels, they are' ju s t a d irty lot of officers and men going to the I l u t t R iver for a long overdue wash. Salute the officer in command by p u tting the r ig h t Hand over the small of the b u tt , likewise wink a t the men, if you can do it in a serious m anner. Possibly i t may be necessary to pass some savoury rem arks a fte r you come off the guard. I am in a te rrib ly good hum our to-day.

Now, I will ju s t inspect you, and I am ra th er sorry for myself th a t I am not shortsighted when I do look a t you. You .men will have to break yourselves of the h ab it of sleeping in your clothes ; brush yourselves up occasionally. Really it w on’t do you any harm . Now, did you men shave yourselves this m orning? You all say : “ Yes, s ir.” W ell, in fu tu re you will have to grasp the fact th a t you m ust shave w ith razors ; cu tting the ha ir off w ith scissors and slash hooks is no t the proper way to shave. Now, “ F or inspection— P o rt arm s! ” Oh, yes, a very p re tty movement. You are all of th e opinion, I supose, th a t your rifles have been cleaned. As regards your buttons, some of them are passable, b u t none of them are really clean. Y ou, L ieu tenan t, w ith the black eye, your buttons are filthy. D on’t le t it occur again, my man. Now, “ F ix bayonets.” So th a t is w hat you call fixing bayonets, is it? M ight I observe to the th ree men who dropped the ir rifles when pulling out th e ir bayonets, th a t i t is not necessary to do so. I t is going to be a h ard job lifting you fellows up to th e level of the privates.

To-day ladies will be passing the main guard ; rise to the occasion, and try to look and ac t like soldiers. Ladies suffer from delusions sometimes. Now, when you march off, s ta r t w ith the le ft foot. T ry and re ­member th a t only ducks waddle. “ A tten tio n ! ” “ Slope arm s! ” “ Quick m arch! ”

J u s t then the “ M aunganui ” gave a roll and the bunk rose up and h it me on the head. The corporal said : “ Stop th a t language, and shu t u p .” A n a rgu ­m ent started , and th a t was the final. W ith a view to obtaining inside knowledge of guards, I have been studying them for th ree days— from behind the bars. In this world we live and learn.

And thy hills by the distance are hidden,But our hearts yearning fondly for homes dimly bright

Will respond though the waves have forbidden.0 ! dear land, which we knew in the days that are past,

Ere thy sons by war’s sickle were dwindled,From the deck we beholding our homeland fade fast,

Which the sunrise with glory has kindled.The ferns still are gleaming where rivers all shine,

Where the mists from the hills send their blessing;And more frequently yet shall their tendrils entwine

Eacli son of thine islands caressing.Their fronds are bedecking the valleys aglow,

The symbol and sign of a Freeland ;W ith grace and with verdure their beauty bestow

On the land which we love—our New Zealand.All the sunsets on Egmont for ever proclaim

To the free and the bondsmen a haven;Shall our heai'ts not respond unto her hallowed name,

Or unworthy of her shall be craven.For over the billows refreshed by the night

Her mountains are gleaming as tokenThat her name shall endure amid darkness or light

When with love by her sons it is spoken.More dim grows the shore, thou are lost to our gaze;

Our fate what the war-god shall tell.Farewell o’er the sea through the mist and the haze

From a heart th at is aching—Farew ell!

S C O T T Y .

I don’t go much on palaver And all that sort of stuff,

For a soldier ’board a troopship Is rather more than rough.

’E don’t go much on ’is lonesome,An’ yet I think I ’m right—

Ain’t ’e just the very m ustard If—you’re looking for a fight?

The tale I ’m tellin’ is diff’rent !From fightin’, war and things—

Story of “ soldierly s p ir i t”—Gave me new life, by Jings !

Lyin’ ’arf dead in me cabin;Ale as sick as a ’orse,I sees a figure above me,Big and grim, but not coarse.

“ W hat can I do for yer matey ? ”Sez ’e a ’noddin’ ’is ’eacl;

An’ then I knowed it was Scotty ’0 berths in the topmost bed.

’E picked me up in my weakness;Propped me agin’ the w all;

Then stole right out of the cabin,Calm and quiet and tall.

The minutes passed very quickly,Though it seemed a day

Till I ’eard ’is soft old footfall Paddin along my way :

“ ’Ere, matey, I ’ve brought yer somethin’ ;Some soup ter brave yer u p ;

I got ’ell from the Q.M.S. ;But—drain the bloomin’ cup.

I drank it up quite greedily,1 ’adn’t ’ad nothin’ before,

An’ T blessed ’im in my weakness;I ’ll bless ’im evermore.

Been thinkin’ the whole thing over Lyin’ ’ere in my berth :

A friend in need—a friend indeed—A jove of sterlin’ worth.

Scotty, you’re just the right cobber For a voyage like th is ;

Crammed with soldierly spirit, Nothin’ takes you am iss;

Tf e’er I put to sea again,Or on my last long ride.

I wish no better companionWhen crossin’ that Great Divide.

THE FIRST PORT OF CALL— FREMANTLE.

W e were all anxious to set foot on land once again, and when we awoke on F rid ay , 7th Ju ly , and found ourselves entering a harbour, we were highly elated. The sky gave promise of a glorious day, and a young lady on the w harf semaphored telling of the glories of P erth .

W ith the arrival of 10 o’clock we were taken ashore ; a route m arch te rm ina ted a t the Railw ay S tation, and we entrained for the twelve-mile journey to P erth . Memories of long waits a t T ren tham and the snail-like pace of troop tra in s made us appreciate fully the de­spatch w ith which two special tra in s were got ready, b u t being loyal sons of New Zealand we followed the example of the parro t of a son of E rin — saying nothing b u t th ink ing a lot, The capital was reached about noon

THE KlT-BAGr; 7

— lunch tim e—whicli was made evident by tlie num ­bers who wended the ir way to the various local eating- houses. The afternoon was spent in sight-seeing, the S ta te national park , whence a glorious view of the city could be obtained, receiving its due meed of p a tro n ­age. The park is on a hill overlooking th e town, w ith the beau tifu l Swan R iver w inding its way round the foot, and th rough the bush many picturesque vistas were formed. The park is in its na tu ra l s tate, the hand of m an being revealed only in a few summer houses and the broad carriage-drive which threads its way th rough the bush. The evening was spent in strolling up and down the m ain streets, and who will say th a t the New Zealanders did not find the fair young ladies of P e r th delightfu l company ? E very­where we w ent the residents seemed to be doing the ir utm ost to give us a good welcome and good tim e. Leave expired a t 8.30 p.m . and two special tra ins were again p u t 011 to convey the tired b u t joyous disciples of M ars back to F rem antle . A ll were on board by 11 p .m ., b u t the jovial sp irits were in sufficient streng th to keep us awake till the early hours. N ext m orning we were again early astir expecting fu rth e r leave, b u t a t 11 o’clock our hopes were shattered , and under the guidance of the pilo t we slowly steam ed down the harbour. Once

clear of the entrance speed was quickly gathered, and in a very short tim e the last of the g rea t island con­tin en t faded from sight. To everyone the stay a t P e rth was a very happy one and memories of our first po rt of call will ever rem ain pleasant.

A whale, so i t ’s reported from “ D ” Company, con­veniently drew alongside the o ther morning. The O.C, however, not caring to offend th e Jonah on board, ordered its re tu rn in a few days. Thus the fu rth e r spell of bad weather.

BOXING TOURNAMENT.

A ll work and no play makes Tommy a dull boy, and a boxing tou rnam en t promoted by the S h ip ’s E n te r ­ta inm en t Com m ittee and held during the course of the voyage, created quite a pleasant diversion. The tournam ent was opened on the forw ard p a r t of the deck on the afternoon of Ju ly 17 under excellent sea and w eather conditions. A strong list of entries open­ed up the prospect of first-class en tertainm ent, but owing to a num ber of those who expressed th e ir in ­ten tion of tak ing jDart in the tournam ent failing to make good the ir appearance, calculations were some­w hat upset. Those who did some forw ard, however, made good the deficiency and provided some exciting encounters. The various bouts were ably controlled by L ieu ten an t F a rr .

TRADE SECRETS,

There hacl been trouble in the galley of No. 86 and three new assistan t cooks were required. The men of E . Coy. were lined up and volunteers were called for. E . Coy. is equal to anyth ing . Three men stepped forw ard— they did n o t like d r i l l ! On going down to the galley the cook, th rough force of hab it, to ld them to go to a ho tter place th an even the engine-room. N othing daunts the veteran 14tli, and they stood the ir ground. One m an said : “ W e are the new cooks.” The explanation completely changed the s itua tion . The chief gave them the glad hand and said he though t they were only bally “ fatigues.” Now he recognised them as men and fellow craftsm en. Said he was up to all m ilitary e tiquette and asked them to display the soldier by sjoirit and stick together. One of the new men, who had the rem nants of a conscience left, s a id : “ Y ou know, old sport, we know no th in ’ about cook­ing ! ” The Chief laughed in a husky m anner. “ W hy, m a n ,” he said, “ th a t 's a recom m endation. A ll I wants is blokes to show w illin’ and not be p articu lar. C leanli­ness a in ’t w anted either. I t ’s s tric tly agin the lor. One tim e every m an was expected to ea t a bushel of d ir t du ring his life. Now no m an can eat less and is strongly recommended to eat more, especially privates. A clean skin m eans microbes. Look a t me, I a in ’t had a wash since leav in ’ W ellington, and am going stronger all the tim e .” S till, if a m an is beastly p a r ­ticu la r le t ’im ’ave a clean and brush up when ’e gets to port. W ash your clothes when you get back to New Zealand. Cookin’, I m ight tell you chaps, is a m atte r of strategy. The hidea is to get the men used to any­th ing . I f a m an lives and thrives on the tucker aboard th is ship, ’e is ’ard and fit for anytliink. Could take Berlin afore breakfast, so to speak. Sometimes the chaps say th a t all cooks ought to be ’ung. D on’t you be frightened. B eally the boys is very good- natu red . On one shij) they did ’ang a cook, b u t the skipper was angry. ’E said they ’ad no business to steal a sh ip ’s rope to do i t w ith . They ought to ’ave bought one. Now, ’owever, i t is a most serious offence. Now about the b reakfast. W ot the boys always insist on ’aving is stoo. I t ’s an old p roverb: “ W hen they are dow n-'earted give them some stoo. I t bucks them up w onderful. I f a m an fain ts in the alley­way throw a p la te of stoo over him and ’e is up and wants to fight im m erjit. How about the duff! This is our g rea t speciality. You m ight call i t the “ M aun­ganui P a r tic u la r ,” so to speak. I t is ju s t like another duff, only we don’t use flour. Cem ent is b e tter and thus the ’ole is mixed up w ith glue and cooked in both ’ot and cold w ater. I t ’as one bad point, ’owever— if you fall overboard after e a tin ’ some you are done. B u t on the o ther ’and if a m an can eat some and su r­vive ’e ’as n o th in ’ to fear. A coa tin ’ on the stumm ick will tu rn aside bullets, and even m achine-gun fire, not to speak of bayonets. W hen you mix the duff up with fire shovels don’t le t any of your boots get in it . I t is ’ard to get a new pair aboard. Spuds is cooked various. Sometimes 'ave them quite ’ard , and other times boil them up to a squash. Never waste ’em though. W ot is served up in the tin paunikuns is a trad e secret. The boys in the m orning susj^ect i t is corfee. I ses n o th in ’. Then they believe wot they

’ave a t the nex t two meals is beer. A gain I ses no th in ’. S trange the boys are very fond of it, too. Now about the Sergeants. Feed them a little be tte r th a n the privates, b u t don ’t be a t all p articu lar. Sergeants ’abitually use vile language. They speak of the tucker ju s t in the same way as they haddress the privates. Now when I cooks for the orficers I am a Chef w ith a big “ C ” , and you blokes take notice. I cooks for them w ith a bouquet in one ’and and keep in ’ tim e to classical music, as i t Were.“ W o t ..............................you rookies arsk me does welive on the soldier’s tucker? You will te ll me next th a t we are bloom in’ Prooshians going to fight for K aiser B ill. No, sons, you m ake no error. W e live on the same tucker as the orficers. A ll sociable like though no stooards and no frills. . J u s t mix the menoo up altogether in one dish and bog in. B u t you m ustn ’t cu t your m outh w ith your knife . Now carry on.

A B R E A K F A S T -T A B L E D E B A T E .It was breakfast time in the mess-room,

The Tunnelling Corps sat there;A hungry lot of souls they looked,

Which was due to the salt sea air.Then up spoke (Dr.) Williams,

W ith courage and steady eye :“ I f this is all you’ve got to eat,

Fair dinkum let me die ! ”Then in chimed big Tom Kiely,

W ith his bold soprano voice :“ Bog right into the stew, boys,

You have no other choice.The grub is rough and ready,

But take it for what it’s worth,This isn’t a blooming picnic,

And you can’t expect the earth.”

OBITUARY.

I t is our sad du ty to chronicle th a t between W elling­ton and our second p o rt of call, five of our g a llan t com­rades— four on the “ T ah iti ” and one on th e “ M aun­ganui — crossed th e “ G reat D ivide.” A t the appointed buria l hour the engines of both transports were s topped ; sim ultaneously th e bu ria l service was read, and th e ir m ortal rem ains com m itted to th e deep. A t the close of each service the wailing notes of the “ L ast P ost ” floated over th e w ater, while comrades’ eyes were m oist and hearts soft.

O ur departed comrades had " played the g am e” ; they had made the suprem e sacrifice; they had given the ir lives for K ing and Country. I t is fitting th a t th e ir names shall be enscrolled on the im m ortal roll of the nation ’s honoured dead. This honour they deserve equally with those who have given the ir lives amid the flash and ra ttle of m usketry and the howl of shot and shell.

THE KIT-BAG. 9

Lance-Corporal Stanley Thompson, of D Company, passed away suddenly a t seven o’clock on the m orning of Ju ly 19th, having only been adm itted to hospital 011 the previous day. The cause of death was m alignant measles. The buria l took place a t sea 011 the same a fte r­noon, a most impressive service being conducted by C haplain C aptain W ilson. Lance-Corporal Thompson was a thoroughly conscientious, and popular soldier. H e came in to camp w ith the 14th Reinforcements, and, previous to enlisting, was for several years employed 011 the clerical staff of the D unedin City Corporation. H e was 31 years of age and a m arried m an, his wife resid­ing a t St. K ilda , D unedin.

S ergeant J . N. L loyd, who is to be found in the R e­gim ental Canteen during all regulation hours and a t o ther tim es as well, brings some old business cunning to bear on his new charge. Joe, as he is known am ongst th e m ultitude, was for many years a “ D rum ­m er ” up and down the N orth Island , and w hat he doesn’t know abou t the wholesale business isn ’t worth tnuch. Joe .at first wept b itte rly when he found him ­self in the re ta il trade , b u t a p re te rn a tu ra lly optim is­tic disposition, coupled w ith words of cheer and com­fo rt poured in through the little window daily , soon worked wonders, and now no more genial sp irit may be seen of a m orning than the self-same Joseph as he goes along to open u}3 for th e day.

Corporal P . H iggins, originally of the 3rd W elling­ton B atta lion , and now of B. 14ths, experienced four stirring months on the Peninsula. H e arrived •there 011 th e 25th A pril, and partic ipated in the Cape llelles advance and the Suvla Bay Landing. Corpo­ral H iggins received a gunshot wound in the shoulder, and was invalided to E gypt and then to New Zea­land. H e joined up again ju s t a few days before the 14tlis le ft the Dominion.

Among th e several men on board who partic ipated in the first landing a t the D ardanelles is Lance Corp.* J . M. Quayle, who left New Zealand w ith the Stags B attalion , M ain Body. H e was wounded 011 the occasion of the Suvla Bay landing, and a fter 15 weeks active service on the P eninsula , was invalided to his home in New Zealand, L .-Corp. Quayle also look p a r t in the defence of the Suez Canal.

Sergeant G ran t, D.C.M ., a t present attached to D Company, has had qu ite an in teresting and exciting m ilitary career, and carries the whole burden w ith a wonderful cheerfulness.

O11 110 fewer th an five occasions was he recommended for life saving a t Spion Kop and Colenso while under (ire, and am ong o ther fine things carried L ieu tenan t Roberts (who was wounded) into safety w hile under fire a t Colenso.

Sergeant A. H arris , M edical Corps, left New Zealand with th e 9th Reinforcem ents. A fte r spending about a month in E gypt, th e genial sergeant -returned to New Zealand 011 the “ T a h iti .” Now he accompanies the 14tli, and helps to brigh ten the way of the soldier physically weary.

Sergt.-M ajor W . B. W illis, who devotes quite a lot of energy in the in terests of B Company and still suc­ceeds in looking rem arkably well 011 it , was a member of the 7tli New Zealand-South A frican C ontingent. A ltogether he p u t in about 18 m onths in th a t country, and while a t home always evinced a p re tty keen in terest in volunteering.

The head of the sh ip ’s C rim inal Investigation D epart­m en t has issued an ed ict th a t 110 “ B y rn t ” matches are to be throw n on the deck. L ights out!

S ergeant R. C. Betfc, of B Company, 14th, was 0110 of th e V ete rinary Corps which proceeded to E gypt with the 2nd Reinforcem ents. A fte r a fairly long sjDell in the land of P yram ids he was invalided to New Zealand, suffering from fever. Now he go.es forw ard again.

H e left New Zealand w ith th e 3rd Reinforcem ents (C anterbury B attalion), and a fter four m onths 011 Gallipoli was in ­valided to E ng land . H e re tu rn ed to New Zealand on furlough and joined up again w ith th e 14th R ein­forcements. D ick did some very brisk th ings 011 the Peninsula, and a t the Suvla Bay land ing was prom oted to sergeant. H is chief recreations are g e tting up very early in th e m orning and playing “ H ouse.”

W ith a g rea t deal of tru th i t m igh t be said of P riv a te F. M ahoney, D .C .M ., now attached to B Company, 14th, th a t he is one of th e most m odest fellows 011 board ship. P riv a te M ahoney te lls th e story of his deed on Gallipoli w ith as much reservation were he m aking a confession. H e le ft New Zealand w ith th e F if th W el­lington B atta lion and , on th e 8th of A ugust, landed a t W alker’s P ie r, and took p a r t in th e Suvla Bay attack , and , a fter some s tirr in g times, finished up on th e A pex 011 November 27th, when he was sen t back to E gypt with enteric. In the m iddle of A ugust the W iltshire^, in company w ith o ther English troops, were holding a p>osition on H ill 971, when they were forcibly driven out by the Turks. Seven members of th a t regim ent were cu t off from th e m ain body d u ring the a ttack , and for 14 days were completely isolated, subsisting 011 biscuits which they took from dead G hurkas, and ob­ta in ing w ater from a fo rtu n a te well supply. On the 14th day two of th e p a rty succeeded in getting through to the New Zealand lines and reported the p ligh t of th e ir comrades. C aptain G rainey, of th e W iltsh ires, called for a volunteer to accompany him in an attem p t to bring ou t the rem ainder, and P riv a te M ahoney was the m an to whom the task fell. A fte r two attem pts across country swept by Turkish m achine-gun fire they succeeded in reaching th e isolated men and, a fter some g rea t work, b rought them safely in . One of th e W ilts, had five bullets in him , and ano ther two, and all were in a bad way. For his heroic action P riv a te M ahoney was subsequently gazetted in orders a t Lemnos as hav­ing been aw arded the D.C.M . O11 th e 14th M arch he retu rned to New Zealand, and th ree days before the 14ths le ft th e D ominion, linked up w ith th a t body.

There’s absolutely 110 foundation for the statem ent th a t a few in terested people in tend purchasing an elec­tric crane for the purpose of hoisting a certain burly sergeant into bed 011 his re tu rn from his nex t visit ashore. L e t her go !

One of the liveliest spirits ashore or afloat is Sergeant “ Dick ” Cutts, now attached to D Company. Sergeant Cutts has seen ’12 years’ Im perial service, and hasn’t lost any of the good effects of i t either. l i e le ft M alta for South Africa, w ith th e 2nd N ottingham shire and Derbyshire Regiments (95th) in December, 1899. I 11 1900 he was made Q ueen’s Corporal for holding up a

Sergeant (in py jam as): “ W h a t’s th a t m an bellow­ing about in here for a t th is tim e of the n igh t? H e ’s w aking the whole ship up .”

P riv a te : “ I t ’s 110 good, Sergeant, ’e can ’t help i t . ” Sergean t: “ W h a t’s th a t? H e can’t help i t ? ” P riv a te : “ No, ’e can’t help it. ’E ’s had nothing

b u t Bovril for the past five days, and he thinks lie’s tu rn ed in to a bull. W e’re expecting to see horns grow out of his head in a day or tw o.”

Chorus from nex t door: “ C u t him up and can him. W e haven’t had our share yet! ”

The command “ Cast thy bread upon th e w aters ” has been litera lly and liberally obeyed during the past few weeks.

THE NURSING SISTERS.

To publish an account of happenings on the troopship) “ M a u n g a n u i” and om it m ention of the R ed Cross N ursing Sisters would be scandalous. The Sisters themselves would n o t th in k so, for N ursing Sisters as a class are quite unassum ing souls. B u t the nursed— there would certainly be a com plaint from th e m ! W ho has spent ever so short a tim e in th e sh ip ’s hospital and not come o u t singing w ith loud voice th e praises of the Red Cross Nurses ?

Sister W elsh, before the w ar on th e W ellington H ospital Staff, commenced her w ar experience by going- out w ith New Z ealand’s first hospital ship, the “ M alieno.” She was in E gypt for A ugust of 1915 and was shortly afterw ards established in th e New Zealand P o n t de K oubeli H ospital. She continued in th is work un til M ay last, when she re tu rn ed to New Zealand w ith the “ T a h iti’s ” wounded, and now she is going back in the “ M aunganui ” for fu rth e r service.

Sister B u tle r’s experience is ra tlie r more varied. H oliday-m aking in E ng land when war broke out, she joined the Red Cross there, and was in Brussels a week before i t was taken on 21st A ugust, 1914, by the G er­mans. A t the commencement they were nursing Bel­gians, and la ter Germans as well. Three weeks passed and S ister B u tler, w ith others, commenced her re tu rn to E ng land per dray to G hent 011 the streng th of an A m erican passport. One German officer, who stopped the ir novel conveyance to examine passports— on this occasion they openly stated they were m aking for E ng ­land— suggested th a t they should w ait for three weeks u n til Germ any had taken E ngland, when he would be pleased to escort them. The party had other views of the m a tte r, however, and decided not to w ait. In D e­cember, 1914, Sister B u tler retu rned to New Zealand, b u t in A pril of the nex t year du ty again called her, and as one of the first fifty N .Z . nurses supplied to the Im perial G overnm ent she re tu rned on the “ R o to rua ” to E ngland. L a te r the nurses w ent out to E gy p t and S ister B u tler, one of twenty-five, was sent to A lex­andria , the rem ainder of the pa rty going to Cairo. Oil the “ W illochra’s ” second re tu rn w ith wounded, Sister B u tler again visited N .Z ., b u t w ent back w ith her and took up du ty in the N .Z . H ospital in Cairo. Now Sis­te r B u tler is com pleting the double re tu rn once more— to N .Z . in the “ T a h it i” from E gy p t and this tim e per the ‘ ‘ M aunganui ’ ’ t o ------ !

Long live the N ursing Sisters !

“ I t both heated and h u rte d ,” replied a well-known Sergt.-M ajor.

IN O C U L A T IO N D A Y .

There’s a wave of trepidation and inward palpitation Spreading lore and aft aboard this ship to-day.’Tis not the stew that’s done it,Nor the brandy sauce—we shun it—But the knowledge that up for’ard they’re preparing for the

fray.W ith fixed determination and a tragic desperation We are falling in in silent, solemn rows.Yes; we’ll brave the worst endeavour of that stealthy foe, and

clever,Who with scalpel deals us each two vicious blows.Yes, this awful trepidation—quite beyond articulation— Which fills our inward souls with quite unholy dread,’Tis the baleful operation for this damned inoculation,Which like a wraith confronts us just a little way ahead.
