A Desperate Call for Compasses
from the pages of the Constantinople Crier
We have been informed by our reporter stationed in London, that Brigadier General Phineas T. Foggbottom has ordered a desperate call for compasses to be issued to all British Army units in Denmark. Having been ordered to advance on a German position in Kiel, the Gloucestershire Guards mistakenly swam the Helgoland Bight to join their comrades in Holland.
While the Hertfordshire Hussars were delighted to see their brothers in arms, they were somewhat miffed that their support into Kiel had been disregarded. General Foggbottom was heard to have said, “Say What!!! Where did you lot come from?”
It is assumed that the rushed supply of brand new, accurate compasses will deter any further routing disasters. We shall attempt to keep you posted.
