Description:

Thanking him and Col. German [Lt. Col. G. German, D.S.O., T.D., second in command of 2/5th Bn.] 'for doing so much for us when we landed into Fermoy', with an ironic description of the Brigadier General's [?] inspection of the 2/4th Lincolnshire Regiment

 

The General...was fearfully in trouble at the thought of nine men struggling to get salt out of one pot...& the blessed corporal's toes were only 44° instead of 45° when he turned to dismiss the guard'.
