BOXING ”E” Troop Boxers Win Two Out of Three Contests After a week’s delay the Boxing Tournement arranged by the Hal- lams took place in the Town Hall on Wednesday 12. Jan. Actually it was a battalion aíf- fair but several special bouts were billed in which the battery was represented by Bdr. Roberts, Gnr. Scargill and Gnr. Rogers R. Scargill’s opponent was Cpl. Hall (4 Lincs). They proved a couple of well matched light- weights. Both boys boxed clean and well and there was little be- tween them when the bell signal- led the end of the fight. Our man won by a very narrow margin. A grand contest. Our middleweight, Bdr. Roberts, took the ring against Pte Wilby (4 Lincs). The Lincs man gained a technical K.O. in the second round. The desision was unpopu- lar. The referee apparently mis- judged Robert’s condition for our man was very fit. Hard lines, Bombadier. Gnr. Rogers won his desision by an extremely small margin. His opponent (Pte. Jones, 4 Lincs) put up a very fine show and took Ro- gers all the way, but the gunner never lost his head. Well done, Rogers. C. W. 12 THE SENTRY by Gnr. F. C. DALTON On Guard tonight I have to go All rigged up full F.S.M.O. With shining rifle in my hand On parade I proudly stand. * * * But when the moon is up on high And shooting stars dance through the sky The blinding snow begins to fall And I don’t proudly stand at all. An hour has passed and I’m a wreck The blinking snow gets down my neck My feet are blocks of solid ice My rifle now looks far from nice. Ninety minutes have slowly passed I’m blinking sure that I shan’t last To see old England’s shores again I’ve „Orderly Officer“ on the brain. :Je A quarter of an hour I’ve to go I’m up to my neck in blasted snow The Northern Lights look down and see A shivering wreck that once was me! And then at last I hear a voice It sounds to me a Heavenly noise
