**DICK SCHOFIELD:** I am right in the centre of a spot of "toughening up" at present with the Armoured Division and this is my first opportunity for a few weeks to pen a line. One thing is certain - the Army doesn't cater for a true Bushwalker appetite. Our rations always seem to be short and whenever we halt in the field there is always a frantic chasing after rabbits to supplement the rations. I've seen a flock of 10,000 sheep driven into our bivouac area and simply vanish. Hard to believe isn't it? I hope that I-may drop in and see you all sometime soon if I get any leave, and renew friendships and perhaps listen to a few yarns and the latest club scandal. | **DICK SCHOFIELD:** I am right in the centre of a spot of "toughening up" at present with the Armoured Division and this is my first opportunity for a few weeks to pen a line.
