Stealing Food from Garden of Soldier Called to War
Stop Pinching Our Potatoes!
The Early Riser
(to the Editor)
Sir, – It is grievous to find, that although we are called from home to help with the struggle to prevent an invasion upon our shores, yet there is still “the early riser” who persists in paying our gardens a visit and pinches the potatoes by scratching like an old hen before daylight, then proceeds to lighten the fruit trees, etc.
Could not something be done to prevent this in our absence?
Yours sincerely
26336 Pte P A Rowe
New Barracks,
Lincoln.
