"BLUE RIBAND" LINER HAS NO OWNER
AWARDED D.S.O IN ERROR
The most embarrassing position in the British Army-thanks to an ex- traordinary War Office “Bloomer”- that of the two officers whose D.S.O. awards were officially an- nounced, only to be offi cially contradicted later.
They were Lieutenant (tempor- ary Captain) Bašil Oscar"-- Paul Eugster, M.C., Irish Guards, and Lieutenant (temporary Captain) John Humé Prendergast, M.C., 15th Punjab Regiment, Indiari Army.
It was later announced that both officers had been awarded bar to the Military Cross.
Curious to know how such an error could have been made and how any system of notifying awards could be sufficiently casual to permit such errors, a reporter rang up the War Ctfice and asked if Major-General Beith, Public Relations Officer, could give an explanation.
Take Your Choice
"Oh," replied a voice, "I think we can deal with that."
But apparently "we" had to find' out, for the volce asked ma, to hold on while its owner went ap- parently in search of the right an- swer to the questions.
No, said the Voice, it was not, as had been stated in some quar ters, a typist's mistake; it was an error on the part of "someone who sub-edited the list:"
Later explanations revealed that a clerk accidentally eli minated the fcading" “Military Cross" which appeared at the foot of the page. Clerk' or sub- editor, take your choice! It's all the same to the. W:O.!

CANTEENS
Plans have been completed for every London district to have its own mobile canteen to serve hot drinks and light refreshments to people in air raid shelters.
"If raids in London become in- tense, thousands of people may have to stay in shelters for hours at a time,a London ARP. of- ficial said. "The question of providing refreshment even if it is only a cup of tea must be
taken into consideration.
"Many people now. prepare flasks of hot tea before going to bed and place them ready with their gas-masks. If the sirens do not go, nothing is wasted. There is the early morning cup of tea all ready. But you can't expect big families to prepare half-a- dozen flasks. That is why mobile canteens, going from shelter to shelter, will become inevitable,"
