Loud cheers announced the arrival of the ball mark of a Christmas dinner, the pudding, real Christmas puddings, for all that they came in tins, the alb.. tins that the A.8.0. has been issuing us rations to the extent of lb. per man,
I knew something of the tremendous pre- pudding of fine rich darkness in parations that had been going on for appearance and an excellent and most days and weeks past, I certainly did not Christinmay flavour, as I can testify. expect to find quite such an all-pervad- With the pudding's arrival the uproar ing spirit of Christmas as I did.

Merry Christmas, and as far as I could see no two people all day met to talk strict business or merely to gossip without beginning or ending the con- versation with the same two words, and answering. And the same to you?
MOUNTAINS

Outside a whistle biew three gentle. toot foots, every man stiffened to stillness, the gramophone cut off sharply, and dead silence fell. Now in these much. bembed camps three clear whistles maka a certain signal, and in the dead silence that fell now a voice translated the signal exactly as the General walked in
Airyplane over. Tako cover. A roar of laughter went up, the General joining in When silence was restored he made a brief speech, wishing the men a merry Christmas and a glorious and victorious New Year As he finished there came a running shout,Same to you, Sir. A voice called," Three cheers for the General and the three cheers nearly shook the paper chains off the walls. The General retired to a roaring chorns of He's a jolly good fellow.
I wanted to see something of the method by which the rations and mails, the two foundation stones of Christmas out here, were distributed, so I started off at a railhead, where the pack train with the supplies for the day arrived at 8 am. The train was in, and busy unloading when I got there, and busy is a mild word for the hustling activity that hauled and heaved boxes End bales and barrels off the trucks on to the waiting wagons and lorries. There were mountains of food for men and animals,. Cheese and fruits, apples and oranges sides of bacon, truckloads of bread in raisins and nuts followed the pudding, sacks, boxes of pork and beans, crates and again the hubbub of talk and of cheese, cases of biscuits and anions laughter rose, punctuated now with the and potatoes and cabbages, ton and sugar and milk and sardines huge hind and fore quarters of chilled best, whole car Cases frozen mutton, and casks and cases containing jars of rum.
And this train carried sacks which, perhaps more than suything else, would he welcome to their recipients many sacks of stout canvas, carefully tied and Bulging with the Christmas Day mail Figures have been quoted shoving the huge mails that nave come to the front this Christmas, but the actual sight of the sacks loading on to the wagong that were to carry them to the next refilling point and on up to their units seemed to bring home more closely the intimate touch of thin Christmas mail, Thise sacks that I saw would pass on with the sorted- out rations to refiting point and up again with rations to the units hend quarters, where they are sorted to crim panies, or sections, or similar subdivi sions, and from there passed to officers and men;
COOKA" BUSY DAY.
Later I want to some of the camps and saw the cooking and eating of the Christ. mas dinners. These camps are near enough to the front line for the men to be in temporary tents or hutuents, and the cooking I saw was to great extent being done in field kitchens in the open and intravelling cookers. The cooks were having the busiest day of their lives, and had been hard at work in the cold, dark hours long before dawn, cutting up the joints, preparing the vegetables, boiling up dixies and kookers and soyer stoves They had extra and willing help for the occa sion, but oven then considering the liced means at their command, those I saw had achieved wonderful results, I went to several of the dining places. in marques and Nissan huts, but a description of one will serve fairly as typical of all
*
In double-sized Nissen hut three long tables were placed lengthways with some thing 250 mon scated to both sides. There was just room for the waiters to move along between the tables with the steaming dishes. The hut wds decorated gaily with flags of paper and bunting festooned across and up and down with chains of bright-coloured paper. Bunches of greenery were on the curved roof and tacked round coloured pictures on the walls, and in foot-long white card-board letters strung across the room just, inside. the door, so that every man must pass under and read it, hung the inevitable greeting, A Merry Christmas." There was no doubting the merriment in this dining-room Laughter rose in gusts, chatter and talk ran in a steady and unbroken stream. I stood beside a gramophone with a huge horn blowing ita lungs out, and six feet away from it the loudest bray it could produce was lost and the machine might have been dead dumb.
The men had soup, followed by Leaped and plentiful plates of roast pork and vegetables. You would have to live for months and years on daily beef nod mutton to understand how the change to roast pork is appreciated and enjoyed. There was roast pork in every dinner, and I believe few units were without it. There must have been a very holocaust of nige along the lines in the past few days. The waiters rusbed up and down the tables clearing avay, or replenishing empty plates As in all the other dinners, the junior officers and the NCO waited on their men, and mightily busy the men kept them. The popular jost of the moment was for the liners to pretend they were in a public estaurant, and there were continued call
