A string of light anecdotes from a north Ireland military camp and nearby village life. Includes a donkey joke at camp, a comical class moment with Master Hogget, a council candidate backed by Hardhitter, miller Brown vs impatient youth, a farewell supper gift gag, and a carriage guard ruse that ends with a sharp retort.
