[photo, portrait] When the 263rd Company left their billets at Earley Rise, Reading, to embark for active service they picked up and kept a black kitten, which they named Nigger.

It often goes reconnoitring, but always returns to its billet, the store wagon. When the boys come home the boys hope to bring Nigger to Reading and restore the war-torn cat to its owner.
