SPARROWGRASS’ PROPOSITION,–

Posted By admin On 3. July 2008 @ 12:01 In Recent Entries | No Comments

SPARROWGRASS’ proposition, that the Home Guard should not leave home except in case of invasion, is equal to the old story of the Bungtown Riflemen, an Ohio military company, whose by-laws consisted of two sections, namely:

“Article First.–This company shall be known as the Bungtown Riflemen.

“Article Second.–In case of war this company shall immediately disband.”
