He tells a story of how they poked fun at the Colonel who has an ornery horse. The horse would not go, so he started spatting her with the flat of his sword. At some point he broke off four inches of his sword and they have a good laugh every time he has to draw his sword at dress parade. He also tells of one soldier who is famous for dodging duty.
