‘I’ve had Captain Cluckers with me
ever since I was a nipper. He’s accompanied me on many an adventure since I
first found him on an abandoned farm. We’d been stationed there all night to
stop the Germans entering France and the villagers had been forced to evacuate.
But during our primary scout out of the area, we stormed an old barn and woke
up this chicken who had abandoned its coop in favour of a cosier nest in the
rooftops. The instant we saw it; everyone had just one thing on their minds –
lunch. But I said, hang on a minute Sarge; this chicken looks quite healthy. We’ve
got a truck now and if we play our cards right we could look after this chicken
and have fresh scrambled eggs every morning wherever we go. I didn’t realise
that at the time that we’d only get one egg a day; but scrambled egg Sunday
became a much loved event for our troop and Captain Cluckers became a permanent
mascot.
