Show TOMMY IN HUMOROUS MOOD i And Possibly There Was a Little S;;--casm in Remark Credited to Real Soldier. "Don't. ever imagine that the British haven't some sense of humor,'' .said I Robert Chambers, the author, recently. "A friend of mine, just back from London Lon-don relates an incident that shows that the Tommy, at least, has a funnybone somewhere in his anatomy. "These two Tommies, disheveled, torn with wounds and altogether untidy, un-tidy, were on leave in London. As they stood In Trafalgar square there approached a detachment of the Windsor Wind-sor guard in silver trappings, waving plumes, red coats, long varnished boots shining like mirrors, and kid gloves. "The Tommies looked on in silence for a moment and then one nudged his mate. " 'Looka Bill,' he whispered in an awed voice. 'Them's sojers.' " |
