The RHQ and 99th Battery of the
21st Field Regiment RCA held their
regular Monday night training on
November 14, and there was a very
good attendance, although for a while
I didn’t think so, as most of the gun
ners were upstairs in lecture for the
first period. I figured it Was too early
for hibernation, but all hands were
visible for the rest of the evening.

The first period was taken by Capt.
H. D. Thompson on the subject of
tfire discipline* No, that is not what to
do in case of fire, but part of the
gun drill. Maybe a few of the gunners
thought it would be on fire drill, and
fire axes, buckets and extinguishers
were missing from their places on the
wall. Sorry, fellows. Of course, you
knew what the lecture was all about,
but what about the two that fell
asleep?I 0-0-0
Small arms instruction was under
the direction of O/C McIntyre and his
subject was the Sten carbine machine
gun, known to most gunners as the
plumber’s nightmare. It sure looked
that way when Gnr. “Dapper Dan”
Adamson brought one downstairs in
pieces for Sgt. “Specks” Dawson to
reassemble. I guess the next lecture
will be on how to reassemble the gun,
but they didn’t get that far

Gun drill was given by
rover boys WO 2 “Buck”
and Sgt. "Couldn’t Matter Less” Wells,
and the strange part was that they
had only one gunnei' at the time, none
other than Gnr. "Boom Boom” Ross
and they were really pouring the ord
ers to him. Poor “Boom Boom” was
really going around in circles, but
remember what they say, Harry.
Blessed are they that go around in
circles for they shall be known as big
wheels. How about a new student next
week, fellows? Harry is going tone
deaf. Monday evening every time
either of you bellowed “fire,” the walls
shook, Harry quivered
