THE SMILE THAT WON'T COME OFF. SOME OF THE 4TH BERKSHIRES AT CHELMSFORD.
MISSED THE BABY.
Judged from the baby-killing standpoint, from which German air-raids have to be estimated, the aeroplane visit to Essex was not a success. Our picture shows a perambulator which was smashed by a bomb, but the infant child of Sergt. Rabjohns, who was inside, escaped marvellously, with flying fragments of bomb all around him. A great triumph for "Kultur" thus just failed to come off.
TRENCH COMFORTS.
It is not possible to invest life in the trenches with all the luxuries and refinements of even the most modest household at home, but our picture makes it clear that Tommy Atkins is resolved to be as comfortable as he can. He has a fire to cheer him, and it will be seen that gifts of tobacco are not wasted on him, for he appreciates the solace of a smoke at his after-dinner rest.
BULLET-PROOF BROTHERS. - Pte. Edwin A. Webb, Cpl. Albert W. Webb and Pte. Edgar G. Webb, of Blewbury, came from India with the 2nd Berkshire, and after severe weather and hard fighting have escaped wounds and sickness. Bullets have missed their heads by inches.
Men of Berkshire, go into training and aid your brothers at the Front. Don't postpone your Enlistment. A man who joins to-day is equal to three who join later on.
