As an officer it is my duty to ensure that my men are paid on time for their services to queen and country. Unfortunately I seem to have lost the lot on a wager and have no means of paying them. It will 3 months until the next boat. I will be sure to request that the Major create a plausible story that will involve the locals, on which the men will no doubt take out their frustrations, thus keeping them occupied and their minds off the pay. I do have some regrets vis a vis the locals but then again at least I don't have to pay them.
The Colonel
