Enjoys Indian Tea

L/Cpl. Harry Blann, of 27, Providence Street, Low Valley, is in the R.A.S.C. as a driver-mechanic.

Before joining up he was a fitter at Grimethorpe Colliery. For some months now he has been In India, which he says is not a bad place at all, although it cannot be compared to dear old England.

He says the Indian tea man carries tea around ready made in big brass urns. And what lovely tea it is! Every man to his job and certainly “Char Wallaar” knows how to make a good cup of tea.

Harry Blann Is a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. A. Bowker, of Snape Hill
