A WWI memoir fragment recounts bombing lessons in a British unit. Soldiers learn jam tin bombs, Mills bombs, and throwing technique with humor and danger. Chaplain Hall earns respect for bravery saving wounded under heavy fire.
The troops enjoy a hot spell and bathe in a deep creek behind their billet. The sergeant major orders a bath parade with fifteen minutes to bathe. They line up in full kit after a dusty eight kilo march to a frame building by the creek.
The fragment hints at a continuing tale featuring Ploks and shovels with a note that the event continues next week. Details are sparse and no clear setting or characters beyond the two names are provided. The item acts as a teaser for upcoming content.
