  Unusual code words concerning relief for 18 Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment "Cigarettes coming up". Hope they were not expecting any!

  And then there was the one I found maybe 3 years ago now: "Fed up".

  Another Code 'Dear Old Home of Mine'. in the 15th Btn West Yorks Regiment. I bet they wished they were there!
