  • "Me: Harry, I'm on Volume 4 of the war memoirs, now Rocamanfina ... and Terra Corpo ... do you remember the occasion of the great bed?

    H: Cor yes, we did it right out in the open, we used gun canvas.

    Me: Good! Can you remember why we did it?

    H: Yes.

    Me: Why?

    H: We were all bloody balmy.

    Me: I know that, but was there any other reason? Were we short of tents?

    H: No, sanity."
