On duty at the guns today and have nothing of any interest to relate. It was a fine day for once and there was a touch of frost in the air, so much so that at eleven I had to retire to the Mess as there was no coke to be obtained. The O.C. was up at the O.B. for lunch and did a certain amount of shooting in the afternoon. And so the day ended quietly in the usual way.
'Coke' as a reference is more contentious nowadays. I presume he is meaning coal for heating.
ReplyDeleteI think 'coke' is a kind of fuel, not exactly coal, but coal-like.
