Absurdities in war notices and discharge forms
The piece notes humor and confusion in war regulations from the Admiralty shell box labeling to Australian discharge certificates. It cites examples where reasons for discharge like age or medical unfitness are stated without tying to conduct, and mocks phrases such as not due to misconduct for unclear cases. It ends by advertising Woods Great Peppermint Cure for bronchial coughs.
