The Canadiams Wreath of War Time Humor
A lively wartime feature describes sergeant antics and recruit tales in a British army camp. It recounts an overbearing sergeant’s pratfalls, a female War Office recruiter Miss Gladys Horney sharing anecdotes, and humorous front line anecdotes about Canadiams and Tommy misadventures with bugs, bugles, and sardines. The piece paints morale, discipline, and wartime humor amid fatigue and drills.

Fragmented Frontline Snapshots From Flanders Front
A jagged wartime miscellany recalls trench exchanges and morale boosts from the Western Front. Vignettes include a Canadian officer in Flanders, a sentry’s waterlogged challenge, a brave British ambulance driver’s return, and a cocky sign exchange. An elderly Irish rifleman famed for range antics is described, alongside a humorous kitchen moment about pipe tobacco. A testimonial from E. Hawlams of Armidale praises Herbos Pills for rheumatic relief.
