Military censors got a new kind of kick in their chair-worn pinks. The kicker was the author of "Marmaduke's Colum (The Journal of a London Sub-Editor's Youthful Son)" which appears weekly in London's World's Press News.

Like most Atlantic convoys these days...
Item 3--The changing of the guard is a thing watched with some interest. It's our candid and we hope not inopportune prediction that we'll see Louie Swain as Battalion Commander, Charlie Hebden as sub commander, Bill Harrington as Company 1 commander, and Dave Schneider as Company 2 commander. However, don't blame us if Lieutenant Toune has a different taste in cadence counting...
