(en-noun)Coward's War:
- He had his “dinner” in his canteen and placed it on the ground to go and “scrounge” a chunk of bread to help “fill up”, and as soon as he turned his back a dog walked in at the door of the barn, where we were “in residence” as they say “higher up”, [only we “flew no flag”], and started lapping up some of the “gippo'”, [gravy] of which the said dinner was composed [in fact 'twas more “' gippo ” than dinner that day, so who could blame a dog for being mistaken].
My experiences as a VAD nurse:
- They were always asking for ‘more gippo ’ (gravy) which we got for them if we could.
