| 4-19 | Tues 5th. A St. Nicholas Day Childrens Party was given, in the Flora Hall, to about 385 children between the ages of 3 & 12, from houses in which the Bn were billeted. This was a great success and exceedingly well organized by Capt. Soanes, our Quartermaster. Cakes and sandwiches disappeared in miraculous fashion. St. Nicholas himself appeared. In the evening, the sergeants held a dance in the Stipout Hall. |
