simply ommited to realize that I was for once far enough back to be caught by a army order that is considered dead in the danger gone. To a man who had lived a free life in the Mountains it is hard to take the petty overbearing way of some of these Military Police, one days pay was the least I could get so I have no kick on that score, but we do see too many Red Caps about. Where we are now there is quite a lot of mosquitoes around & they have a nasty poisionus sting always raise a lump I suppose be cause the ground is so septic.
