1 A letter has come in asking
for someone to be nominated
as a Lt Colonel, but a
Staff officer is not eligible
for the appointment ! I wonder who devised
this new theory & if I am
the unwitting cause ! Boylan Smith & I have had
some amusing correspondence
apropos of the sanitary arrange-
ments of the office. He made
various proposals that the G
branch ougth with their big
brains to be able to dial with
the enemy — b flats — etc etc I replied that we should be
glad for his assistance & that he
should come & sleep in the office 2 disguised as a staff officer. There was further amusing play
between us ending up in his
presumed decease whereon we pent
the following of obituary notices:—
G.) This was my best & I've
forgotten it !
A.) Here lies the body of Boylan Smith
We have buried him deep with toil &
grief.

(ADMS who has rows with him
about smoking & ventilation).
A beautiful end and a happy release
now I can smoke the pipe of peace
( The Units whom he used to
inspect.)
Tho' tins & creosol we now
do not lack
May Heaven preserve him & let but not
send him back.
