- [Centre:] V [Upper right annotation:] 9 to the Colonel (who otherwise naturally does'nt know or recognize the name or face of the bulk of his men <sup>individually</sup>, that is, the privates. And he seems to have a <del>friendly</del> good opinion of us as scouts & seems to like us rather in spite of our occasional "breaks".<sup>(The colonel is very well liked & admired by his men.)</sup> The same apply to some of the other officers to whom we have become well known through our peculiar ways. By the way one of our chaps of our platoon over stayed his pass by only a few hours last monday & he got 10 days C.B.! His excuse (& it was quite true) was that his mother was ill. He is a nice honest chap but he was absolutely unknown to the colonel so his story was put down as "the old yarn". The Col. said 'I've heard that too often - 10 days C.B." & before he had time to say a word in his defense the sargeant-major who ushers the defaulters in, in the strictest formal style cried - about turn left wheel, quick march! So this unfortunate chap who really had ample excuse gets 10 days because of his 1/2 day over due & we get only 8 days for 8 whole days! At the same time I must explain that they are getting stricter all the time.
