The Bushman's Guide Video 46

The reading today in The Bushman's Guide is A SURPRISE MEETING. "SPARE me days! 'Fancy meeting you after all these years!'
So came the exclamation from a "digger" from World War 1. The last time I saw my friend, who greeted me in this way, was in 1917 in France when the "big push" started. The enemy was putting over mustard and chlorine gas shells, and our regiment was practically wiped out. Many of us were badly gassed and were shipped to England to be treated, so many of us were separated."
