This is Cpl Jack French having a ‘wet’ made on my Primus after coming off the Moor on the old 30 miler. The Cpl with him was a Kings Badgeman but his name escapes me for the moment. This was near North Bovey where Recruits could grab a pasty outside the “Ring of Bells” on the run, no water breaks then! Time allowed 7 hours.
