Soldiers ordered to peel potatoes are not reckoned to smile like this. But this is the secret: “spud barbering”, as the Diggers call it, is shared by all except – of course N.C.O's. The men go on a roster and these men's turn has come December 16, 1942. That removes any cause for ill-feeling, and gives them men a chance for a gossip as good as any sewing-bee.

A pupil about to descend into a tank equipped with the Davis escape gear in a demonstration on June 10, 1931. The Davis Submerged Escape Apparatus (also referred to as DSEA), was an early type of oxygen rebreather invented in 1910 by Sir Robert Davis, head of Siebe Gorman and Co. Ltd., inspired by the earlier Fleuss system, and adopted by the Royal Navy after further development by Davis in 1927. While intended primarily as an emergency escape apparatus for submarine crews, it was soon also used for diving, being a handy shallow water diving apparatus with a thirty-minute endurance, and as an industrial breathing set.
