12/17 Let me say that I am not the inventor of all the strange terms that are used in The Army. I did not invent the term '_Hallelujah Lassies_.' When I first heard of it I was somewhat shocked; but telegram after telegram brought me word that no buildings would contain the people who came to hear the Hallelujah Lassies. Rough, uncouth fellows liked the term. One had a lassie at home, another went to hear them because he used to call his wife 'Lassie' before he was married. My end was gained, and I was satisfied. |
