I had to look twice to see if it was “Mighty’. The first time he was standing side­ ways and I thought somebody just, left the broom in the middle of the floor. The signallers trained on the No. 19 sets and not with the M.T. section as the M.T. boys were busy repairing the old truck given to us by Capt. Jackson. Gnr. Bruce Fox­ ton said it was a hard struggle, to repair it. I told him not to admit defeat but to push on and on. He admitted he owned a used car too. 0-0-0 Sgt “Wild Will Wells had a few of the boys giving them rifle drill, and the way Bill gives it they really seem to like it. I told them to study hard and they may make a fortune like those two Irish boys in the last war. You want to hear about them? Well, it seems that the captain of this Irish-Canadian company promised a dollar to every man for every Gerry they shot, so Pat laid- down to rest while Mike watched. Before long Mike said “Pat, Pat they’r^ coming”. “Who’s coming”? asked Pat. “Ger­ ries”, said Mike. “How many”? asked Pat. “About 50,000,” said Mike, “Begorra”, said Pat, “our fortunes made’’.

MacWilliam, chairman of the’ finance committee, reported that the hospital had operated at a small profit during the year 1954.
